Concluded2020 – 2022

A talent platform where people are seen for skills and passions, not just credentials.

Why. Many university students struggle to access good opportunities without elite academic backgrounds or family networks. I wanted young people to present themselves in more dimensions — skills and passions, not grades and internships alone.

What we built. A platform where users showcase experiences, invite peer reviews, and get discovered for paid connections — users set their own price for being contacted, with no intermediary fees.

What changed. 8K+ active student users, a 500+ member expert network across China, Taiwan, the US and Singapore, and a 20-member campus ambassador program across 985/211 universities driving 1,000+ referrals.
