Founder of Bonsai (YC W16, www.hellobonsai.com) here.

We're built from the ground up to handle invoicing for freelancers and come with lots of little details to help you save time and get paid. E.g., automatically apply late fees, lock files on a invoice until paid, recurring invoices and auto payments, and more.

Happy to answer any questions you have!

This is a great video on the economics of the hub and spoke vs. direct model embodied by the A380 vs 787: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlIdzF1_b5M

That channel also has alot of very interesting content on the economics of air travel (e.g., seating classes, how tickets are priced, etc).


I used to beat myself up about not remembering details of books, even ones I read only a few months ago. I still try to take notes and revisit those often, but PG's take on this help ed reduced my anxiety about it:

> Reading and experience train your model of the world. And even if you forget the experience or what you read, its effect on your model of the world persists. Your mind is like a compiled program you've lost the source of. It works, but you don't know why.

Hey all, Matt from Bonsai (YC W16) here. We provide contracts, proposals, invoices, and other tools to freelancers, mostly developers and designers.

We used our anonymized data to break out what freelancers earn with different experience levels, skill sets, locations, etc: https://www.hellobonsai.com/rates


Hey Matt, love the idea but your rates for England are completely wrong.

For an iOS developer in England with 3-5 years experience, the mode is £120-£140 per hour?

Please show me one single contract advertised in England where the daily rate is £1k.


Why is Europe excluded ?


When we first launched we didn't have enough data for Europe, but we do now and will update it soon with rates for most European countries and a few others.


They might not have enough data for Europe.


Europe plz.
