Outdefine

250 King St, Unit 368, San Francisco, CA, 94017, United States

Overview

Outdefine is building a token-backed hiring marketplace on the Solana blockchain where talent directly negotiates scope and compensation and earns crypto tokens for referrals, work, and community contributions. The platform is designed to reduce middleman fees and gatekeeping that can take up to 50% of talent pay, and to incentivize network activity and transparency. Outdefine plans to develop its native token to power rewards and align hiring companies, talent, and the marketplace in a fair partnership. The company emphasizes community-driven growth and aims to expand its web3 talent community. Founders include Co-Founder and CEO Romil Verma, who previously co-founded a venture-backed company and worked as an engineer at Google and began his blockchain work at Stanford in 2014, and Co-Founder and CRO Sanjay Verma, who has led public engineering services companies and managed large-scale teams. Outdefine raised capital during a difficult period for the crypto market and will use the funds to develop the token and grow the community.
