From the article, emphasis mine:

> This allows our freelancers to receive tangible rewards for their hard work building incredible software, and helps them prepare for the future.

Wouldn't simplify paying a freelancer be a tangible reward? And if you're not paying them then they're not really freelancers, they're either interns or suckers (or both).

> Will every Gigster Fund company yield a successful return? No. Although some startup companies yield extraordinary financial returns, many fail.

Ha! Great way to spin "The majority of this will be worthless ... but you buy Powerball tickets too right?"
