Things that didn’t exist on New Year’s Day 2000: iPhone Tesla YouTube 𝕏 SpaceX Gmail Instagram Bitcoin Facebook Skype Amazon Prime Google Maps Netflix streaming Android App Store WhatsApp TikTok Snapchat Fitbit Xbox Pinterest LinkedIn iPad Uber Airbnb Reddit Spotify Zoom The next 12 months, let alone 25 years, are going to bring about rapid advances in technology, both hardware and software. Willow, Google’s new quantum computer, is going to exponentially increase the computing power of today’s AI. The resulting artificial intelligence will break through barriers and create solutions to problems that have plagued the human race for decades. Unfortunately this means entire sectors and industries will be left obsolete, replaced by automation and 1s & 0s. As the world changes right before our eyes, HUDU committed to ensuring the world has an equitable and accessible way to make money. Our unified marketplace is unlike anything ever built, a fresh and innovative approach to odd jobs and beyond. No barriers to entry. Built in quality control. Easy, simple, and convenient. With HUDU the days of getting scammed, screwed, or ripped off by companies like Angi or contractors on that platform are over. The shattered and overapplified gig/odd job sector needs rebuilt from the ground up, and that’s exactly what we’re doing. If you thought HUDU was a safe & easy way to get sh*t done before, buckle up—you haven’t seen anything yet.

When I started HUDU, there was so much I didn’t know. I was a blue-collar construction worker from Iowa trying to launch a tech company… and I had zero technical experience. I couldn’t code. Hell, if I’m being honest, I didn’t even know where to start. But I knew a few things with certainty: I knew that millions of Americans were stretched thin, looking for ways to make a little extra cash. I knew this struggle wasn’t new—it’s been true for generations. I knew that working-class America deserved something better. And I knew there were hundreds of millions of odd jobs scattered across this country—unseen, untapped potential. So I dared to dream: What if every odd job was centralized, brought together in one unified, competitive bid marketplace? What if we had a real solution—a powerful answer to problems facing everyday people? Then there was one thing I didn’t know how to do: Quit. Building HUDU has been the hardest thing I’ve ever done. In the school of hard knocks, lessons are unforgiving, taught by setbacks and missteps. You stumble, fall, and get back up—again and again—until you finally understand what truly works. Yesterday, we hit 10,000 Registered Users. I say ‘Registered Users’ because our marketplace is accessible to everyone—no account needed to explore. You only need an account to list a project or bid on one. Both of which, by the way, are free to do. Our registered users aren’t just browsing; they’re here with purpose. They’re signing up because they see the value. 10,000 people see the value in what we’re building. For anyone who’s ever built something from the ground up, having 10,000 people recognize what you’ve created—that’s the affirmation, the validation, that fuels you. It’s what makes the long days, the sleepless nights, and even the tears all worth it. Today, those tears are tears of joy. We’re still learning, still growing. But every day, we figure it out a little more. I won’t stop, we won’t stop, until we’ve changed the way the world works. So here’s to the next 10,000, and the next, and the next. 💙☑️

Wouldn’t it be cool to give millions of dollars to SAHM’s, HS/College Students, and just everyday people instead of AD giants? What are your thoughts? How can we make this happen? I’m GOING to make it happen.
