We all have a thing or two to learn from the folks at HBS.
Introducing The 10 Biggest Misconceptions About Braintrust (and the real truth behind them)! This latest blog post is inspired by a conversation with Harvard MBA students who had some misunderstandings about the Braintrust model, and this is our chance to set the record straight! Because if Harvard MBA students who studied our network model extensively had questions about it, then we knew there were some serious points we needed to clarify.
And a few other ICYMI hot content pieces:
- Justin Kan is a #fan of Braintrust! Start at 6:55 to hear what he likes about the Braintrust model. (Hint: it has something to do with distributed ownership and zero fees...)
- Entrepreneur took notice when we surveyed 800 knowledge workers, nearly ⅔ said freedom of location is their #1 priority in a job!
- Hiring is tough. Braintrust did a big data study to understand why, and get you tips to make it easier. See more in The Knowledge Work Demand Index.
- Workers and employers do NOT see eye to eye, and it’s hurting businesses.
- The future of work is literally in the hands of talent - more from CEO Adam Jackson on Forbes.

🏛️ Network Infrastructure.
Braintrust is taking radical transparency to a whole new level by building a public dashboard! This project will share real-time updates on all the most interesting metrics about the Braintrust network: revenue, network size, average pay rates for different role types, total number of BTRST wallet holders, total jobs on the platform, and much, much more. It’s in the final stages of design, take a peek here:
Note: data not accurate yet, used as placeholder for design purposes.
By the time this thing is live at the end of the month, Braintrust will be so knowledgeable in the art of transparency that we should host a TED Talk about it.
A few other notable infrastructure updates:
- Everything you ever wanted to know is now documented meticulously in Braintrust’s new Help Center
- Braintrust is scoping building a Chrome extension that would enable talent to auto-fill their profiles for faster, easier completion
- Progress is under way to open-source more of the Braintrust app!
