From idea to done
in three steps.
Post your task
Describe what you need in plain English. Rocket, our AI assistant, helps you structure it, suggests scope, and routes it to the right skill category.
Get matched
Our matching engine reads context, skill depth, and timeline — then surfaces the right freelancer for your exact need.
Execution, done
Your freelancer delivers. Review the output, approve, and pay. No agencies, no overhead, no faff.

About
Built in public,
rooted in Manchester.
We started LiftOff because we kept running into the same problem: as founders, you need things done fast. But good freelancers are hard to find, agencies are slow and expensive, and job boards are built for recruiters — not for people who need a landing page done by Thursday.
So we built the platform we wished existed. AI-matched, founder-first, UK-based. We share our build progress openly and take direct feedback from our earliest users seriously.
We're not trying to be the biggest freelance marketplace. We're trying to be the most useful one for early-stage founders.
Wilbur Summerson
Co-founder & CEO
I've spent my career automating the manual workflows big companies run on. LiftOff brings that to everyone else — strip out the friction so any small business can get real work done, no big team required.
Jake Adam
Co-founder & CTO
I've spent my career rebuilding broken processes for big companies. With LiftOff I'm doing it for everyone — an AI matching engine that turns 'I need this done' into the right person on it, with none of the overhead.
