01 / A DIFFERENT KIND OF WORK NETWORK
A little under the radar.
A lot of possibility.
You’ve got a skill.
You’ve got a project.
Find your person.
A website that needs building. A launch that needs a brain. An ops problem that won’t fix itself. Get experienced help, without a full-time hire.
I’ve got a projectLESS BROADCAST.
MORE POSSIBILITY.
Keep the day job.
Make the night move.
Start with an alias. Share the experience, skip the employer names. We’re building a network where an introduction happens only when both sides are interested.
For now, this is an early-interest list. Matching comes next.
02 / GET IN EARLY
Your next chapter.
Off the record.*
We’re bringing the first Moonlighters together. Tell us a little about yourself and we’ll be in touch as the network takes shape.
A fresh inbox. A fresh start.
Use a separate Gmail that doesn’t include your real name. Pick an alias and leave identifying details out of your experience.
*Private from public view, not invisible to us. The Moonlighters team can see your submission. A separate email isn’t a guarantee of anonymity.

03 / FAIR QUESTIONS
The lowdown.
Is this actually anonymous?+
Your registration isn’t published. An alias and a separate email help keep your day-job identity out of it, but our team can see what you submit. Don’t include employer names, identifiable client work or confidential information. We can’t promise absolute anonymity.
Can I do this alongside my day job?+
That’s the idea. Check your employment agreement, conflicts of interest and any required permissions first. Use your own time, equipment and work. Moonlighters is for legitimate side projects.
What happens after I register?+
We’re collecting interest on both sides. There are no public profiles or automatic matches yet. The team will review registrations and contact people as early access and suitable opportunities become available. Registering doesn’t guarantee work or a match.
Does it cost anything?+
Joining the early-interest list is free. Any future matching or platform fees will be explained before you commit.
Can I register on both sides?+
Absolutely. Submit once as talent and once as a client. Keep the private removal link from each registration if you want to remove either later.
