A late-night conversation between two entrepreneurs stuck on opposite sides of a stalled funding round became the spark for what is now YieldsBiz, a new digital platform designed to close the gap between capital and talent. Today, the company officially announced the launch of its platform giving investors, founders, and independent professionals a single place to find each other without the usual runaround of cold emails, disconnected directories, and outdated spreadsheets.
Founded by Marvin Forbes and based in Barrio Los Corales, Limón, YieldsBiz was built around a simple observation: the tools available for business networking for investors haven't kept pace with how deals actually get made anymore. Investors still spend hours chasing warm introductions. Founders still burn weeks trying to figure out who to pitch. And once a deal closes, the next problem shows up almost immediately finding the right people to actually execute on the plan.
"I watched a friend lose three months trying to track down a single investor introduction, and then lose another month after that trying to hire someone who could actually build what he'd promised in his pitch deck," said Marvin Forbes, Founder of YieldsBiz. "That's the exact gap we built this platform to close. You shouldn't need a rolodex from twenty years in the industry just to get a conversation started, and you shouldn't have to gamble on a freelancer you found through a random search."
A Platform Built Around Two Real Problems
YieldsBiz approaches the market from two directions at once, which is part of what sets it apart from single-purpose networking sites or generic freelance marketplaces.
On one side, the platform gives investors a structured way to discover vetted opportunities, connect directly with founders, and build relationships with other investors who share their focus areas whether that's early-stage seed rounds, growth equity, or sector-specific plays. Profiles are built to surface relevant deal flow instead of burying it under noise, and the messaging and discovery tools are designed specifically around how investment conversations actually unfold: slower, more research-heavy, and dependent on trust built over multiple touchpoints.
On the other side, YieldsBiz addresses a need that many networking platforms ignore entirely: the ability to hire remote freelancers who can turn a funded idea into a working product or a functioning business. Founders and investors alike can use the platform to find developers, designers, marketers, and operational specialists based anywhere in the world, without the friction of juggling five different freelance sites or relying on personal referrals that may or may not pan out.
"Money and talent move in the same direction eventually," Forbes said. "A round gets funded, and then somebody has to actually build the thing. We wanted a platform where that second step isn't an afterthought it's built in from day one."
Why Costa Rica, and Why Now
YieldsBiz's decision to base its operations in Limón, Costa Rica is itself a reflection of the platform's philosophy. Much of the current wave of remote work and cross-border freelancing has been driven by professionals working from places that were once considered far outside traditional business hubs. Forbes has said the location was chosen deliberately, as a signal that opportunity and talent are no longer confined to a handful of major cities.
The timing of the launch also reflects a broader shift in how small businesses and independent investors operate. Remote-first teams, distributed capital sources, and freelance-driven execution have moved from being a workaround to being the default operating model for a large share of new ventures. Yet the infrastructure connecting these pieces the actual matchmaking between money, ideas, and skilled labor has lagged behind. YieldsBiz was built specifically to fill that infrastructure gap rather than to compete as another generic networking app.
What Users Can Expect
From launch, users on YieldsBiz can:
- Create detailed investor or founder profiles that highlight focus areas, past activity, and specific interests, making it easier to find relevant matches instead of scrolling through unrelated listings.
- Browse and post opportunities aimed at connecting capital with active projects, with tools built around how investment relationships typically develop over time.
- Search for and hire remote freelancers across a range of disciplines, with profile details structured to help buyers evaluate fit quickly rather than guessing based on a portfolio link.
- Use direct messaging and connection tools designed to reduce the back-and-forth that usually slows down early-stage conversations between investors, founders, and freelancers.
The platform is live now at yieldsbiz.com, with new features planned in the coming months based on direct feedback from its earliest users.
Looking Ahead
According to Forbes, the current launch is intentionally focused on getting the core matchmaking experience right before expanding into additional features such as escrow-based payment tools, deeper verification for investor profiles, and expanded categories for freelance talent. The team plans to roll out updates on a rolling basis, informed largely by how early adopters actually use the platform rather than by a rigid roadmap set in advance.
"We'd rather ship something that solves the actual problem than something that looks impressive in a pitch deck," Forbes said. "The first version of this platform exists because real people told us what was broken. That's not going to change as we grow."
For founders trying to find the right investor conversation, for investors looking to expand a network beyond the same recycled contacts, and for anyone who needs to hire remote freelancers without rolling the dice on an unknown hire, YieldsBiz is positioning itself as a starting point rather than just another listing site.
