Start by creating an account, filling out the application form and adding two case studies to your profile.
We will send you two enquiries to get you started. These leads are part of your trial.
If we are a good fit for each other, you will be invited to join Unicorn Factory quartlery or annual membership.
After you have completed your two lead trial, you can choose between a quarterly membership which costs NZD 89+GST/quarter or an annual membership which costs NZD 249+GST/year. You can cancel you plan at any time.
No. We simply make email introductions and let you take it from there. Beyond the introductions, we don't get involved.
We will make recommendations on how can improve your profile and you will be able to request introduction to community projects, so you should be fine. We do however reserve the right to remove profiles if we can't find any opportunities for you.
Yes. If you do good work and are serious about starting a freelance career, we would love to help you.
Yes. You will be required to be based in New Zealand to be listed on Unicorn Factory.
No. Even though we will look on it on a case-by-case basis, we will not refund you if you decide that freelancing is not for you. If you want to give it a try, we recommend jumping on the quarterly plan first.
No. Even though, we do our best to make sure you get as many opportunities as possible, we cannot guarantee that you get enquiries. That is why we have introduced a two free lead trial to see if people are interested in your services. If you convert one of your two leads, the plan will pay for itself, and we can be confident you will get more enquiries.
