The company’s DoNanza service was reviewed in full by TechCrunch in June, which dubbed it the “Kayak of online freelance project search”. Currently in alpha, it sources listings from companies like Odesk, Elance and Demotix, and presents them in an easy-to-navigate format.

CrowdIT also offers an XML API, which provides developers with access to the DoNanza database of online projects, in addition to publisher solutions, which include interactive project boxes and co-branded search engines.

The company was founded in 2008 by Liran Kotzer (CEO), Gil Pal (Product ManageR) and Ami Dudu (Ra&D Manager), and had previously obtained angel funding from Yossi Vardi.
