Twine operates a two-sided marketplace for on-demand creative and technical talent across 195 countries. The tech stack is almost entirely marketing and creative-focused (HubSpot, Kajabi, Zapier, the full Adobe suite, Canva, SEMrush, Ahrefs) with minimal engineering infrastructure—a 2–10 person team punching through 1,700+ active hiring roles suggests they're scaling by recruiting contractors rather than building. Active projects cluster around SEO, social-media content production, and e-commerce integration, while pain points center on engagement and lead generation, indicating clients struggle to convert freelancers into repeat work.

Twine is a freelance marketplace founded in 2013 and based in Manchester. The platform hosts over 750,000 freelance experts and serves more than 50,000 clients across 195 countries, spanning creative disciplines (design, animation, music production, film), technical roles (software developers), and emerging AI-training contributor pools. The business operates three distinct segments: a client-facing hiring interface, a freelancer job board, and a data-collection service for AI companies. Hiring is heavily weighted toward design (957 roles) and marketing (555 roles), with design and marketing contractors making up the vast majority of the pipeline.
Twine connects freelance experts with clients seeking project-based work. The platform also operates an AI-training data segment, offering high-quality datasets from a global contributor network for AI model development.
Twine actively recruits across 24+ countries including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Spain, Singapore, Japan, and others across Europe and Asia-Pacific.
Twine's stack is marketing-first: HubSpot for CRM, Kajabi for course/community management, Zapier and Make for automation, Google Analytics and SEMrush for performance tracking, and the Adobe Creative Suite for content creation.
