Work. Give it. Get it. Locally. Need a product or service? Don't pick up the phone. Instead, simply post it on Quotefish and local businesses or tradesmen will contact you. Own a business? Register with Quotefish and we'll notify you instantly when someone in your area requires your product or service. We're about empowering independent contractors to build out their own businesses - to have the autonomy and the drive to do what they want, when they want, for the price that they want. Quotefish (winner of the Best Startup Award at the Samsung Digital Media Awards in February 2014) is a web based social marketplace that builds economies by digitally connecting local businesses with their communities through the sharing / collaborative economy. The collaborative economy / sharing economy is a movement built out of the need for digital innovation and collaboration in real world every day processes. From catching a taxi to staying in someone's house while on holidays, sharing through digital will be a major disruption to the way people connect and do business online. Dubbed the "next phase of social business" by Jeremiah Owyang, consumers either get what they need from each other, or they pay for access to goods and services rather than own them. Increasingly, consumers themselves are the makers and influencers of goods and services in the marketplace. Quotefish provides an instructive and easy platform for connecting individuals and local businesses and tradesmen, inspiring trust and real world relationships. We launched in September last year, and were instantly awarded the Wicklow Business Chamber 'Most Innovative Business' Runner Up Award, in October we were a semi-finalist for the Real-Ex Web Awards 'Best New Web Application / Service'. In November we were shortlisted for Eircom Spiders 'Digital Startup' Award, and December nominated for the Samsung DMAs 'Best Start-up' Award, winning it in February 2014. We are 'Everybody's business'.
