SquatUp transparently helps people into self employment. We are an informal collective of people with projects who want to build tools & services that create and connect into a vibrant ecosystem in which entrepreneurial individuals can strive & transparently start & maintain their self employment - whether that means freelancing or creating their own businesses.
