In my 25 yrs as a business advisor I have been involved with many successful entrepreneur CEOs and business executives. But the leader that I have had the best relationship with is Mark Emery (Juvo’s CEO). Having been a part of several of Mark’s previous successfully exited companies, I have had the pleasure to work with someone who is not only at the forefront of hiring technology, but someone with a drive and genuine passion for revolutionizing the industry. Mark and fellow CEO Debbie Emery, have long been on a mission to make the hiring process work better for small-midsize business owners. I can see Juvo is the culmination of this, and that is why I am excited to invest. I am drawn to Juvo because of the size of the market that Juvo is addressing (80mm hourly workers in the US alone), and the real-time impact this app has on how employers like me hire new talent. The app is super easy to use from an employer perspective, and I know seekers who have had a great experience finding work through the Juvo Network. In this sense, Juvo is the easy, and instant solution to a very real problem. One which no other company has addressed. For those of us wrapped up in the hiring process, we know how difficult it can be to find new talent quickly, and without wasting resources. But Juvo gives small-midsize employers the leverage that before has been exclusively enjoyed by large enterprises. And with minimal lift from employers themselves. But more than this, I know that the Juvo team are out there doing good on a person-person basis, up and down the country. Mark and Debbie have always been concerned with nourishing local communities, and supporting the people around them. Juvo is doing some fantastic work with universities, technical colleges, and apartment communities to get seekers and employers connected and into jobs. With the ongoing hiring crisis snapping at our heels, it is my belief that we have never needed Juvo’s services more than now. Users of the app will already know that the Emerys’ personal touch carries across each interaction. From an employer perspective this is another reason why Juvo is night and day to the lousy “pay & pray” job boards that we’ve been dealing with for so many years. Anything that solves my issues and saves me time and money is a winner. This combined with my personal experience of Mark and how he conducts his business, means I have no doubt that Juvo is a very smart investment for me, and my fellow business owners.
