History
2021: Attraction of $1.25 million investments
On February 1, 2021 it became known of attraction of $1.25 million investments by Careerist company. The Internet Initiatives Development Fund (IIDF), the early investor Bogdan Yarovoy and his SmartHub syndicate and also other angel investors from Silicon Valley invested in it. The startup intends to spend the received funds for development of a product and its growth.
It is noted that at growth rates in 500% in 2020, despite economic downturn and freezing of hiring, the startup gained an annual income almost in $2 million. Graduates of Careerist already got a job in Google, Apple, Amazon, Slack, Salesforce, Samsung, Verizon, AT&T, Snap, Facebook and other companies.
As reported in the press service of Internet Initiatives Development Fund, commenting on perspectives of the Careerist project, agreements on the section of income make only a small part of the market of multi-billion loans for education. However taking into account that the American students owed more than $1.5 trillion on loans (by the beginning of 2021), the ISA system (Income Share Agreement) began to look as an attractive business model and began to attract interest of investors.
The IIDF adds that Careerist adapts labor power of the USA to new economy for a share of future salary.[1]
