Summary


Where Technology Meets Talent
Topcoder is a talent marketplace that connects businesses with the people and skills needed to get more work done.

The Topcoder Community includes more than one million app designers, developers, and data scientists from around the world, so there’s virtually no limit to the amount of work you can complete with Topcoder.

But unlike freelance websites that require you to search through member profiles for an individual with the right skills and hourly rate, Topcoder uses competition to produce creative, code, algorithms, and solutions. All that, and you pay only for results, not time.

An expert from the Topcoder Community is assigned to each work project and manages all crowdsourcing logistics for you. No crowdsourcing experience needed.
