Double Dynamite: Today’s episode features two entrepreneurs solving the biggest pain points for #freelancers: finding customers and managing finances. And to do this successfully, sustainably and on scale, both have built highly engaged communities.

We talk to Vincent Huguet, Co-CEO and founder of Malt, an Airbnb-style marketplace that connects employers and freelancers across Europe, and Christopher Plantener, serial #entrepreneur, currently founder and CEO of kontist.com”>Kontist, a banking solution for #freelancers that makes taxes easy.

Eight companies ago, Christopher wrote his master thesis on communities and since then knows that to build a scalable community you need more than Google Adwords: you need time and patience. Vincent had the Airbnb founder team crashing on his couch back in 2009 when they were in Paris to meet with their community. This spirit has inspired @Malt from the get-go.
