HOW IT WORKS

Most marketplace websites have a ridged “either or” approach, your either are a Project founder OR a skilled worker, or on the other hand you’re either a Project founder or an Investor.  The sole purpose of these sites more or less is to connect two distinct classes of users.  However Startupjoinup.com is different. This is a space where all three types of people (Founder, Worker and Investor) come together. And let’s do one better…You can be BOTH a project founder on one hand AND a skilled worker concurrently offering your skills at the same time WORKING another Project.

  This is the advantage of the startupjoinup.com marketplace. One destination. Many approaches.  
  • Step :1 a user creates a site account (name email password reset challenge questions):
  • Step 2: Once they are in the site control panel, they Select what “type” of ‘Profile’ they would like to launch

a “Project” Profile - is an ‘event’ or ‘service’ or ‘commission’ such as music recording, which requires an songwriter, arranger, musicians, singers, technical support staff, OR and event like a live concert, which could require lighting and stage managers, or other live event staff, or a commissioned artworks which could only require the Artist and assistant and moving crew of such artwork. However a Project can be any event service or commission outside of music as well, however my initial target market will be the arts.

A “skills Profile” – This would be basically a resume of any person or a portfolio of company advertising the provision of support for Projects. A Skilled person or business can support one or more Projects at a time as their time permits. {NOTE: Type 1 and Type 2 profiles can freely cross keyword search each other in the marketplace.

Investor Profile – Backers of Projects. An Investor Profile with stated investment range, types of Projects they are interested in backing (i.e. single recording, a body of work, a single sculpted commission etc.) AND the terms of the funding, (term loan, line of Credit, Equity in the Project or commission work, first position on proceeds when complete.)
