Finishing the Xolo Pledge | Starting the future of freelance

Written by Xolo | Aug 12, 2024 11:02:07 AM

We’ve decided to roll back our Xolo Pledge initiative. A tough decision, but one that we’re positive will ultimately benefit our community and mission. 

When we launched the Xolo Pledge earlier this spring, our goal was to identify the #1 shared issue between global freelancers and solopreneurs. We crowdsourced your most pressing challenges, promising to dedicate resources to solving the top-voted problem. However, as we gathered insights over the past few months, we realized that there isn't a single issue that we can solve for all solopreneurs. Your needs are incredibly diverse.

It’s thanks to your voices that our team is able to realign and refocus our unbridled efforts where they better serve freelancers in every corner of the globe.

What’s the next step–post Xolo Pledge?

Rather than trying to uncover a one-size-fits-all solution, we're shifting our focus to two key areas:

Expanding our product offerings: 

We're working hard to make our products available for more diverse use cases, including e-commerce businesses and expanding to more countries. By bringing greater opportunities and smart solutions, the Xolo brand will see its mission live in the hearts of a broader range of freelancers worldwide.

Amplifying solopreneur voices: 

We're committed to becoming a true advocate for solopreneurs across the globe. Our team will start by highlighting the issues submitted to the Xolo Pledge and working to bring more awareness to the challenges you face. We'll be in touch with everyone who submitted an issue, and we'll continue to foster engagement and connections within our community.

This isn't the end of the Xolo Pledge, but rather a pause to realign and focus on delivering solutions to problems we already know exist. 

We want to express our gratitude for your contributions to the Xolo Pledge. Your input has been invaluable, and we're committed to continuing our mission to support and empower solopreneurs.

Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for being part of the Xolo community!
