Business Idea: A dynamic online resume platform that showcases an individual’s public contributions—like social media presence, open-source contributions, publications, and personal projects—providing a comprehensive and up-to-date professional profile tailored for modern hiring trends.
Problem: Traditional resumes mainly highlight formal education and job experience, which are increasingly less relevant as employers focus on visible public activities and personal brand building, risking overlooked talent and experience.
Solution: An integrated digital profile that aggregates and verifies publicly available evidence of personal projects, social media influence, open-source contributions, and publications, offering a holistic view of a candidate’s capabilities and online presence.
Target Audience: Young professionals, recent graduates, freelancers, and job seekers who actively engage in social media, open-source projects, blogging, or publishing, seeking to stand out in competitive hiring processes.
Monetization: Subscription plans for premium features such as verification, analytics, and enhanced visibility; partnership with recruiting firms; and targeted advertising for professional development services.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP): Unlike traditional resumes, it captures real-world influence and public contributions, providing a measurable, dynamic, and verifiable representation of personal branding and skills.
Launch Strategy: Start by creating a minimal viable platform that allows users to input and connect their social media and project profiles. Offer free sign-ups, promote through social channels, and gather feedback to refine the platform before expanding features.
