Question 1

What is Duos?

Accepted Answer

Duos is the world's first paired freelance platform where two people register as a single professional unit called a 'Duo' and apply to jobs together, deliver work collaboratively, and build a shared reputation—while clients interact with them as one reliable team.

Question 2

How does a Duo work on the platform?

Accepted Answer

A Duo consists of two freelancers who create individual profiles and one shared Duo profile. They sign a Pair Agreement, apply to jobs together with combined proposals, deliver as a unified team, and share reviews. One partner covers when the other is unavailable.

Question 3

Who is Duos designed for?

Accepted Answer

Duos is designed for couples who want shared careers, best friends whose skills complement each other, mentor-learner pairs, globally distributed partners offering 24-hour coverage, parents and caregivers who need flexibility, and professionals returning to work after a gap.

Question 4

What is a Pair Agreement on Duos?

Accepted Answer

A Pair Agreement is a structured, timestamped document signed by both Duo members that outlines how they will work together: payment splits, primary contact, handoff processes, and what happens if the partnership dissolves. A summary is visible to clients to build trust.

Question 5

How does Duos handle payment?

Accepted Answer

Duos uses milestone-based escrow for fixed-price contracts and weekly billing for hourly contracts. The platform supports Stripe, PayPal, Wise, and direct bank transfer. The payment split between Duo members is handled automatically if configured in the Pair Agreement.
