Ever been ghosted after delivering real work? In my final year at IIT Kharagpur, I was already working on the idea of PeerHire. Then something happened that gave me the momentum to push harder. Through YC’s co-founder matching platform, I met someone who said his friend needed a website and offered me $1000 to build it. I knew there was a chance it could be a scam, but I decided to take it as a real-world test. I built the website exactly how he wanted. His friend liked it and told me to do some revisions. I revised it and gave him another version. After that, he started ghosting me. The excuse was: “my friend isn’t interested anymore.” Of course, the payment never came. It wasn’t the money that bothered me. It was the fact that I had invested my most valuable resource — time — only to realize again how fragile trust is in freelancing. This incident didn’t start PeerHire, but it gave me conviction. It reminded me why a decentralized talent marketplace that enforces trust, payments, and fairness needs to exist. That’s the journey I’m on with PeerHire.

it's very very common, it's kind of a theft that a thief never realises that the money is someone's bread and butter. I always charge advance, if someone is not willing to then I let it go. it's better to not have clients then living with regret of why I did it. I have also learnt the hard way. I always have a contract where it is clearly mentioned that if I will not get paid the work would be mine

Really appreciate you sharing this story. It’s tough learning the value of trust the hard way, but turning that experience into a mission-driven product like PeerHire is truly inspiring.

The best way to do it is to take some percentage in advance then 50% after final design and at last 50% on completion
