About Setmate
Our mission
The creative industry runs on relationships. But finding the right people still too often depends on knowing the right people. Setmate exists to change that.
We connect creative freelancers in media with the people, projects and opportunities that move their work forward, online and offline.
From finding your next collaborator to meeting your future crew at an event, discovering new work or learning from someone who has been there before, Setmate is built to make the creative industry more open, visible and connected.
