https://skilledup.life gives a leg up to tech founders who are struggling to survive and grow their tech startups due to a lack of sufficient capital to hire.
Instead of chasing investors, let's get to a position of strength: product, customers, team and growing revenues.
Am I the only one who is puzzled by the model? Essentially you call unpaid internships volunteering, and you charge the business side to access the pool.
How is this sustainable?
Don't get me wrong, this is an important area, but I'm interested in how you see, and how you will be able to grow.
We don't offer internships. Internships are typically full-time.
Ours is an addition to anyone's daily life - 1 to 3 hrs per day commitment for 60 Volunteer Days.
We are solving a couple of problems
Financial compensation for everything one does on a short term is holding many people back, especially in the West. We are all about improving one's future, and not about short-term financial gain.
We are growing slowly and now have 19,000+ SkilledUp Lifers from 103 countries.
I hope the above clarifies SkilledUp Life's place in history - the simplest, yet highly impactful value proposition with no taxpayer money burnt or any VCs harmed in the process.
Governments spend a fortune trying to get people experience. That's ok. But our model is non-intrusive and highly effective and does not cost anything except a bit of one's time.
What happens when we help a tech startup with free talent (SkilledUp Lifers):
Like most things, we need to educate the market constantly until people see the evidence and start falling in love. We are here for the long run and not for short-term gain.
