Aciety is the marketplace of top software development companies. It's based on a search engine and a private curated network of the best software agencies. Aciety is one of the rare b2b marketplaces of professional IT companies and their developers. There are NO FREELANCERS on the platform and it offers selected companies and employed programmers only. Aciety targets big clients and big projects (10k EUR and more). Aciety screens (4500+) and selects (<10%) IT companies as service providers. They create profiles of their companies to offer services as solutions and\or profiles of their developer to offer them in a form of body-leasing. The clients use a search engine to find exact matches of their needs, contact the providers and work directly. Aciety is developing a semantic, big data and machine based learning powered search engine to evaluate development performance, start sorting the service providers and forecast their future quality of development. The platform strives to quantify as much of intangible performance metrics as possible. From day one Aciety has been all about people. It used crowd-funding (95000 USD raised; 48 investors) to fund its investments. It has used crowd-development to drive some of its development forwards. It helps the truly competent ones to distinguish themselves from the rest. Aciety is moving to Silicon Valley to help solving the IT developers shortage and raise further funding.
