Crew was a technology company from Montreal, Quebec. The company develops, markets, and operates the Crew app, which lets individuals find freelance graphic designers, illustrators and software developers.[1] Crew's freelancers have completed projects for companies such as Dropbox, Medium, Tinder, Eventbrite and IDEO.[2]

In addition to its freelancer marketplace, Crew operated Unsplash, a photography website where users can submit copyright-free photography.[3] Over 40,000 photographers have submitted original photos to Unsplash, as of 2016.[4]

In April 2017, Crew was sold to Dribbble to focus on Unsplash.[5]
