How it works

Seven days from request to introduction

01

You send a request

A sentence is enough. Paste an RFP if you have one. Waffle turns it into a posting with scope rows, requirements, and a submit-by date, hides every name, and shows you the teaser before it goes up.

02

Partners submit capacity

Vetted partners in the countries you named are notified and sign in to their account. They mark rows in scope, hours per 30-day window, cities, contributors, samples, and a rate.

03

You see Partner 1, 2, 3

An anonymized summary with combined capacity, the rate range, and a shortlist. You decide who, and whether to split.

04

Award and introduction

Names are revealed both ways, the introduction goes out, and the partner delivers under your terms and your QC.

For buyers

Price a country list in three days

Post once and reach vetted partners across Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Caucasus, Latin America, Africa, Europe, and the US. Keep your app, your storage, and your QC, or use ours. See capacity per 30-day window and a rate per accepted usable hour side by side before you commit. Your name and your client's stay off the board until you choose. No fee to post; a referral fee on award, agreed in writing before the shortlist.

For partners

There is demand on the board right now.

See real requests from brokers, labs, and data companies you cannot reach alone. Submit in ten minutes; one account for your organization and we email a sign-in link, so there is no password to keep. Your competitors never see your numbers; buyers see Partner 1, 2, 3 until award. Free to join, free to submit, nothing binding until award. You contract with the buyer. Capture with the client's app, your own devices, or the Waffle app with sensor data built in.

The Waffle Standard

Every request references the same capture spec

W1 Device and captureW2 Framing and taskW3 Consent and rightsW4 Metadata and deliveryW5 Reconstruction-ready (optional)

A written standard for first-person video that trains machines. Every requirement names how it is verified: guaranteed at capture by the Waffle app, checked on delivery, attested by the partner, or left to the buyer and labeled as such.

FAQ

What does it cost?

Posting is free. There is no fee to post and no fee to submit. Waffle earns a referral fee on award, agreed in writing before the shortlist. Partners are never charged anything.

Who sees my request?

A founder at Waffle reads it. Partners see an anonymized posting with no name, no company, and no end client. We confirm what may be shared before inviting anyone.

Who are the partners?

Capture companies with their own contributors, approved by hand and kept on a scorecard. They can be suspended. They are never listed publicly.

How do partners submit?

They sign in with an emailed link, mark which scope rows they can cover, and give hours per 30-day window, cities, contributors, samples, and a rate. Nothing is binding until award.

Who runs quality control?

You do, unless you ask us to. Keep your app, your storage, and your QC, or use ours. Every requirement in a posting names how it is verified.

What if my NDA does not allow sharing the RFP?

Send a sentence instead. We write the posting from what you can share, and you see the teaser before it goes up.

Send a request

Two fields is the whole form.

No account required. Your contact details stay with Waffle. We confirm what may be shared before inviting partners. This is a sourcing request, not an order.
