Industry Mainstay

Gigwalk is a verified, established B2B SaaS and mobile crowdsourcing platform founded in 2010. While the submission input was of extremely low quality (containing vague claims like 'everyone' and 'most people'), external due diligence confirms significant backing ($17.8M from August Capital, Nokia, Randstad) and a user base exceeding 1 million registered workers historically. The company generates estimated annual revenue in the $2M–$10M range, comparable to or exceeding the calibration baseline. However, the project appears to be in a mature or stagnating phase relative to its 2014 peak, and the lack of effort in the submission data negatively impacts the confidence in current active growth metrics.
