Prospero — Proposals For Creatives

I think this is pretty cool-looking tool especially when we have an increase in the 'on-demand marketplaces'

This is awesome! You totally have to reach out to all the freelancer platforms and target them. I've seen many LinkedIn profiles with people working for upwork- perfect target market for you (just make sure to include searches for "graphic" or other terms that cater to creatives). Also, you should reach out to @roee... Israeli company doing some growth hacking on LI. Could be good/easy for you. Helps me a lot.

This looks like a great tool, I've really like the don't pay unless you win pricing plan. I'd like to see a mobile interface either native iOS/Android or a web interface that's mobile friendly so I can create proposals on the go while I'm out. Oh also I didn't see anywhere if you support Chrome push notifications, it seems only emails when a proposal is viewed/paid. Chrome notifications would be nice, since my inbox already gets cluttered with notifications from other things.

Hey Hunters! I'm happy to introduce - Prospero - writing Proposals like it's 2017. Before I explain about the product, let me explain why we're doing it - My name is Lior. I'm a co-founder at The nuSchool, where we help creative freelancers with the annoying tasks that hold them back from doing what they really want - the creative work. We know that writing a winning proposal is a headache. It’s also not why you chose to become a freelancer. Prospero will make creating proposals fast and painless, so that you can go back to working on what matters most. Because you're hunters and you're into Making Products - we've created a video to show you the story behind building Prospero: Here's the demo for the product: Join us for a live session where we explain how we designed and built Prospero: Yours, Lior Frenkel CEO & Head of Fun @ The nuSchool

I think this tool fills a gap in the market that designers will learn to love. $20 is a great price for a well crafted proposal that could win designers thousands of dollars in work. As someone who has contracted with lots of freelance designers, I can attest to the fact business would much rather work with strong designers that put in the effort early on.

I really like this pricing model. I don't have to make proposals for projects very often so a monthly is not conducive. But when I do I want it to look good!

"We win if you win" - sort of like some attorney fees. brilliant. Hard not to love that! "Send your proposals as an online RESPONSIVE webpage, so that your client can read and sign on ANY DEVICE." But I can't make it on any device. Super bummer.

I got a preview of this tool a while ago, and loved it. I wish we had it when we were a smaller company. Lots of love guys!

@hamutsi I'm curious about two things. 1. Are you planning on customizing per country? In particular, the terms would be self populated differently. 2. Are there any other languages being worked on? TIA

@hamutsi I love anything that takes the pain away from "polish" when it comes to mundane tasks... No one has _really_ solved that for Resumes, even though 100+ companies try... However, this totally looks like something anyone can pick up and prepare a professional looking invoice/proposal. As an ex-treasurer of a non-profit, I'd love to see "receipts" as a follow up for this, as my horrific Word-template was awful... Maybe something that keeps track of all receipts I send in a simple CVS that I can export to do my monthly, quarterly and yearly budget totals too... So many opportunities. Good luck!

Looks great guys, I'm sure this tool will be helpful for many people! It was interesting watching your journey on Flux, and I recommend it to everyone (not just creative freelancers): https://www.youtube.com/c/FluxWi...

This is an amazing idea and the pricing is smart! I have to admit though that when I read the description I thought it was for wedding proposals and was confused as hell on why only creatives could marry. Not disappointed in the end, as your product is better than what I thought. Upvoted :)

It's a really good product and very useful to a freelancer, but I showed this product to two freelancers in brazil and they found this product is expensive for their reality, what's your opinion about that?

This is a really great product. I'd say the professionalism to time investment ratio is way higher than any proposal generators I've seen. It definitely has a wow-factor the first time you use it. I imagine for freelancers who haven't created many proposals, or who haven't thought through their differentiation, that this is fantastic. However, if you're a freelancer with a strong sense of how you structure your client engagements (and a strong sense of how you position yourself), then some of the features are a little less valuable. I'd strongly recommend Prospero for freelancers who occasionally need to send impressive proposals for high-value projects. It's still good, but less ideal for freelancers with higher volume and have more of a need for workflow automation/integration.

This looks really nice — looking forward to trying it out. I would suggest securing your domain. You guys are trustworthy, but it looks bad when Chrome flags a big Not Secure when you land at sign up.

I wonder how well this would work for Experience Research consulting? It looks like there are 4 types of work you choose from, but I'm guessing that just changes the service suggestions offered?

LOVE the pricing strategy. Many pricing models only work if you're going to use the hell out of the product, but Prospero's pricing model lets me experiment and pay-as-i-go, and then upgrade if I /do/ use the hell out of it. Sweet. Will definitely check it out.

Hoping to get a Portuguese (BR) version soon. I can help you guys if you want it! Upvoted, of course :)

Amazing tool that looks like fun to work with and great on-demand business model. I look forward to checking it out.

Wow this is astounding. every once in a while a revolutionary idea comes along. This is a sure winner!
