Rippld operated as a freelancer marketplace connecting companies with content creators for specific projects. The firm was founded in 2011 by Adrian Walker and was headquartered in San Francisco.
The platform was designed to facilitate the search for creative talent across various domains, including mobile gaming development, UI/UX, design, animation, video, and product design. Companies could browse creator profiles and engage them for project-based work, with payments processed upon completion. The business model centered on creating a dedicated marketplace for sourcing and managing freelance creative services.
Rippld secured a total of $78.5K in funding over two seed rounds. The first round occurred on August 9, 2012, raising $78.5K. A subsequent seed round on June 18, 2013, for an undisclosed amount, included participation from the institutional investor NewME. Despite these efforts to establish itself in the creative talent space, the company ultimately ceased operations and was classified as deadpooled in December 2014.
