About Malt
Malt is a platform that connects businesses with freelancers, providing a perfect match for every project. Founded in 2013 by Vincent Huguet and Hugo Lassiège, and later joined by Alexandre Fretti as Co-CEO in 2020, Malt aims to redefine the world of work by empowering individuals to shape their careers. The platform serves over 700,000 freelancers and 70,000 clients across nine countries, including Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, the Nordics, Spain, Switzerland, the UAE, and the UK. Malt's business model revolves around facilitating freelance talent acquisition for businesses, generating revenue through service fees.
