Hi IH community.
I am excited to announce that today I start a new journey as a co-founder of http://bumpt.io This is the 2nd startup that I'm attempting and things are a lot different this time around. Here are a few things that are different.
First, problem and solution:
Problem - Bumpt solves a problem every growing company faces - finding good talent. Just like paying for marketing to find customers that will stick with & pay for a long time, companies need to find talent that are good and will stay for a while.
Solution - We allow companies to tap into their existing internal and external communities to referrer talent to open roles. The data shows that referrals are the best source of quality hires. Bumpt enables companies to find, track and reward quality referrers at scale.
How are things different - during my first startup, I had no idea if other people were facing the same problem I was facing and would pay for the solution I was proposing. I had to do months of customer discovery to learn this. For months, I was doing everything alone, customer discovery, building the MVP, talking to investors, marketing, writing blog posts, building a team... Everything.
You cannot optimize for velocity by yourself.
This time - we have a paying customer lined up and are finding more as we build. A solid team that has done it before. A problem that is not going away. companies spend a ton of cash to find great talent, we are just allowing companies to do it in a scalable way with data.
If you are a company or individual interested in learning more,
we have started a waitlist, please sign up for early access.
Thanks for reading!
Congratulations on taking the big leap and having the first customer already lined up!
Thanks!
