Galasya

Galasya is a bootstrapped, solo-founder marketplace connecting Filipino virtual assistants, developers, designers, bookkeepers, and other remote professionals directly with employers worldwide. The site’s own about copy describes the founder handling design, engineering, and marketing alone — “All three of them are me” — with no team beyond the founder or any venture funding publicly disclosed as of 2026.

The platform works as a two-sided marketplace: companies post job listings for roles such as virtual assistant, developer, social media manager, graphic designer, bookkeeper, and customer support, then review applicants and message candidates directly inside Galasya, without a recruiting-agency intermediary in between. Freelancers create a public profile and portfolio to be discovered by hiring companies. Company accounts are tiered (Free, Pro at $29/month, Premium at $39/month, plus a custom Partner tier), while freelancer accounts are free to create.

Individual freelancer profile pages are publicly indexed on the live site, indicating the marketplace has real, active users on the supply side, though no user-count, revenue, or funding figures have been publicly disclosed anywhere found.

Companies hiring Filipino virtual assistants and other remote talent often go through staffing agencies that add fees and reduce the hired worker's take-home pay; Galasya lets employers and freelancers connect and communicate directly instead.

Small and mid-sized companies worldwide looking to hire Filipino virtual assistants, developers, designers, or other remote professionals, and the Filipino freelancers seeking that work.

Galasya positions itself as a direct, no-agency-fee alternative to VA staffing agencies, letting freelancers keep more of what they earn and letting companies deal with candidates directly rather than through a recruiter or middleman -- a common positioning claim among several Filipino VA marketplaces rather than a uniquely verified technical advantage.
