ABOUT THIS LISTING

The problem, the customer, and why this is 10x better

THE PROBLEM

The global skills gap is projected to cost businesses trillions in lost revenue annually. 40-50% of employers report difficulty finding candidates with the right skills. Many professionals rely on reactive job boards and static profiles, with no structured way to plan growth or showcase evolving capabilities. The result: inefficient hiring, underdeveloped talent, and missed opportunity on both sides.

THE CUSTOMER

Ambitious early- and mid-career professionals seeking structured career progression. Plus forward-thinking employers looking for better-aligned, skills-verified talent. Existing user base spans multiple international markets, demonstrating strong cross-border relevance and growth potential.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Common questions

Why is the founder selling?

The founder is transitioning focus to other ventures. This is a strategic sale - the platform has accumulated significant users and data assets that are better served by a buyer who can dedicate full attention to growth.

Why is the app currently offline?

The app was paused to save costs while the founder explored options. The full codebase is backed up on AWS and can be restored. The website remains live with 100+ indexed pages. This means $0 monthly costs for the buyer until they choose to relaunch.

What are the monthly running costs?

Approximately $300/month when the app is running (AWS hosting + infrastructure). Currently $0 while paused. Very lean operation with room to scale.

Can the data be transferred cleanly?

Yes. CRM database exports as standard format. Codebase is on AWS and can be transferred or redeployed. Social accounts can be transferred. Domain transfer is standard.

What does transition look like?

Codebase handover, CRM database export, social media account transfers, domain transfer, and a structured handover period with the founder. Clean and straightforward.
