Fiverr and Upwork can spend more money on advertising. This helps them provide more clients for freelancers, generates more fees that freelancers pay them, and increases spending on advertising.

Some prototypes need to work. Others need to sell.
We built an interactive Figma prototype for an insurance SaaS startup — not for users, for investors. Dashboard, calendar, document folders, even an LLM chat simulation. All Figma, no code.
