Invest in Vero Learning LLC

After graduating from the University of Cambridge, I founded Jump Start Tutoring with $500 of start-up capital, no co-founder, or prior business experience. Featured in the Forbes under 30 list, we've successfully supported over 4,000+ high schoolers as they transition from academics to the workforce. Our team has 150+ years of combined industry experience successfully developing award-winning test prep and vocational exploration programs. We are raising pre-seed funding to invest in launching our new venture- Vero Learning.

Background

In 2021, corporations spend over $92 billion on recruitment and training. Still, nearly 9 in 10 executives and hiring managers say they are experiencing major skills gap shortages and higher turnover than normal.

At the same time, companies like Google, Bank of America, and GM are removing college degree requirements- focusing instead on skills, experience, and personality traits. With the rising cost of tuition, stagnating wages, and college admissions numbers down to record lows- now is the time to connect top young talent with hiring managers experiencing job vacancies.

Vero Learning

Vero's talent optimization platform will enable young adults to showcase their skills and explore career opportunities while connecting 'best fit' applicants with hiring managers for first-round job interviews.

Vero's talent optimization platform will enable young adults to showcase their career profiles to hiring managers looking to fill entry-level job vacancies- that do not require a college degree. Candidates will complete our pre-employment screening tests, gamified assessments, and mini projects completing one-on-one and collaborative assignments. We will collect KPIs on candidates' performance and use AI to aggregate data into smart applicant profiles for hiring managers.

We prioritize the talent journey using adaptive testing tools to personalize learning, hone skills, and improve training outcomes. AI-enabled smart profiles measure KPIs over time to assess 'best-fit' applicants, helping HR leads shortlist candidates faster, interview qualified leads only, and reduce costs. Selling our product for $1,500 per month- we can make $1 billion of revenue by supporting about 3% of franchisee employees.
