Crowdspring
Crowdspring (written "crowdSPRING", legally crowdSPRING, LLC) is an online marketplace for crowdsourced creative services.[2] OverviewCrowdspring was co-founded in May 2007 by Ross Kimbarovsky and Michael Samson.[3] Crowdspring launched its online marketplace publicly in May 2008. Crowdspring is based in Chicago.[4][5][6][7][8][9] More than 200,000 graphic designers and writers from 200 countries work on Crowdspring.[10] BlogCrowdspring maintains a blog which was launched in mid-2008.[11] Crowdspring has faced ongoing criticism regarding its speculative business model, which involves asking designers and writers to submit completed work with no guarantee of payment unless their submission is selected.[12] Critics argue that this practice can result in many contributors effectively working without compensation, despite Crowdspring collecting fees from clients.[13] In some cases, participants have expressed frustration with delayed or missing payments, further fueling criticism about fairness and transparency on the platform.[14] Crowdspring has responded to such feedback by stating that they provide a global platform to connect creatives with businesses and offer opportunities to grow their portfolios.[15] References
