Pivot to PathBase

The project I worked on before (PathBase)[pathbase.io] was called SagePath, which had a similar user value proposition (helping build dream careers by spotting & filling skill gaps) but targetted college students. Turned out that market wasn't too viable in terms of business model, with career centers' limited budgets and long sales cycles that characterize colleges. 😞

I've learned 2 things from that project, which was (1) find a way so sales cycles aren't a bottleneck to traction and (2) young professionals in the early stages of their career worry/prioritize their careers as much as (if not more than) college students.

That's why the project pivoted (by salvaging several features/codebase) to young professionals. The key difference in approach here will be that the app will be highly focused on the individual's needs to REALLY help them with their careers. The love hopefully spreads virally and makes selling to companies way easier (i.e. the "Slack" approach). 💡

Hope this works...! 😖
