#1997 Braintrust guts the marketplace model

Joining me is Adam Jackson, a guy who has been building marketplaces for years–starting with one where he went door to door here in the San Francisco Bay area and signed up users. He’s developed most of his businesses here and still, he told me before this interview that he would like to challenge the Bay Area mindset. This is a guy who’s benefited from it so I want to find out what he’d like to change. We’re going to find out about how he built his businesses, including his latest company, Braintrust, a user-controlled talent network.   Adam Jackson is the founder of Braintrust, a user-controlled talent network.
