CEO of MySwimPro
Strengths
says, "Experienced founder going after a market that is growing and underserved. Most of the re-skilling programs are only focused on development. This company's initial launch is forming a moat with their software and focus on SAAS sales roles."
Advice
says, "Focus on finding channels for growth that are more measurable to scale the business."
Comment from Aspireship

Aspireship says, "Thanks Fares. Aspireship already acquires new candidates through a mix of paid ads, job postings on behalf of our partners, channel partnerships and word of mouth. All channels are measurable and scalable, though we see the most potential in further expanding our channel relationships and accelerating word of mouth through success stories."

What Investors Say

LEAD INVESTOR
Invested $250,000 this round + $900,000 previously
I have been a professional investor for nearly 10 years. Over that time, I have learned that the best way to generate returns is to invest in best-in-class people -- individuals that are thoughtful, creative, strong communicators, and passionate about the problem they are trying to solve. I can confidently say that Corey has all of these traits in spades. Additionally, we view founder-market fit to be a critical determinant of business outcome. For Aspireship, the company needs to excel in community building, software automation and marketing. Corey has a world-class track record across each of these categories and the people he has recruited add to that "do whatever it takes" mentality. We have invested in Aspireship every step of the way and cannot wait to further support this rocket ship (no pun intended).
