Research shows that 80% of Small business owners and startups don't have the tools, time or budget to make videos at the volume and quality needed to compete. So I decided to create an alternative route for SMBs and startups to reach the market - this one is via low cost, high-quality video production marketplace. Optix.io is a two-sided creative marketplace that connects creative video freelancers with SMBs and startups and brings them together to work quickly, reliably, and flexibly at a fixed cost. We have done lots of research in this field (as our team has an extensive background in video creation for the biggest brands and companies, and we know what mistakes are most common for the clients and freelancers. That's why we have drafted the right set of options to provide the perfect outcome. How It All Works. The client uploads a brief of what they would like to film, pick a date and time, confirm terms and conditions hit pay; we will then match them with a creative freelancer that will show up on the date, film edit and deliver on the same day. Freelancers will be able to capture more of their earning potential without having to compromise on quality. At the same time, clients can get more value for their money by tapping into the creative minds of independent creators. I'm Farzad, founder of Optix.io. I have over 17 years of experience in video creation. I have worked for the biggest brands and companies in Norway like TV2 and internationally like Google, Siemens and MTV. I have always had multiple requests from SMBs and startups to create content for them, but unfortunately, they couldn't always afford the rates, so with Optix, I'm making it affordable and effective. Optix is a small startup from Oslo/Norway, and We believe in small businesses. So we're here to help them grow and create the best video content possible from start to finish. And hope you can join us on our journey. ​ optixmedia.io | matchmade to create
