Before Trade Troves, Gabriel ran a website selling dog products. However, his true passion resided in creating something impactful. āœØ "I saw a gap in the market ā€“ skilled workers often struggle to find consistent work, and clients face difficulty locating reliable professionals. Trade Troves bridges this gap by empowering laborers and simplifying client searches." āœØ
