UnderPinned is a platform focussed on making admin for freelancers easy so freelancers can focus on having the career they want rather than the boring stuff. Dropout very much finds itself within the freelance community through our audience and our collaborators, and we believe that UnderPinned could be a huge asset for many of those associated with our platform. Ollie recently caught up with co-founder, Jack Williams to discuss UnderPinned and the future of work.
1. UnderPinned

UnderPinned is the go-to platform for freelancers, offering end-to-end support. From alleviating the administrative burden through innovative technology and partnerships to improving education and networking through a highly curated community experience. Created by co-founders and former freelancers, Albert Azis-Clauson and Jack Williams, every aspect of the UnderPinned mission is to make life easier for freelancers, so that they can focus on the more important things, allowing their careers and business to flourish. The UnderPinned Virtual Office is a one-stop freelance career management portal, an easy to use cloud-based hub built to help you find work, manage your work, and get paid. From Portfolios to Project Management, Invoicing and Contracts to educational tools and support services, the Virtual Office has got you covered.

UnderPinned has also built partnerships with reputable businesses and organisations which allows freelancers to have access to specialised and reliable advice and tools beyond what is available in the UnderPinned Virtual Office. Co-founder Jack Williams assures that whatever your freelancing issue or challenge, UnderPinned or one of their partners is working on the solution. These partnerships reaffirm the ambition of UnderPinned to exist as a community, bringing in different players with the ultimate ambition to benefit all parties. This allows UnderPinned to remain focussed on freelancing, whilst also incorporating knowledge and expertise from other industries such as business and law, plus many more.

With so many of our readers and collaborators being freelancers themselves, we feel that our partnership with UnderPinned is the perfect opportunity to share some really useful advice and tools. We initially came into contact with Albert and Jack at Underpinned when they supported our 2019 New Minds campaign. They gave us an opportunity to use their space to film a podcast and engage in a series of workshops with our graduate winners, who have all done freelance work themselves. We are just one of many that have benefitted from the UnderPinned community. What’s also great is that UnderPinned regularly publishes exclusive content about freelancers for freelancers through an online magazine allowing us to be inspired and learn from one another. The magazine covers all kinds of topics, from tips and tricks to in depth educational pieces, from showcases to news and updates on freelance political news. It is such a useful resource, and we would definitely recommend that all freelancers check it out. It also gives you a good understanding of what UnderPinned is about before you sign up for their app. For more info, visit the links in our ‘Bibliography’ section.
