JOBBA

The first thing to crack when raising investor money is to make a convincing pitch deck and PitchBuilder have certainly cracked it.

We’re sure that we pass on some great startups that just don’t hit the mark in their deck (and we aren’t even investors!)

PitchBuilder works with start-up & growth stage founders who either don't have a pitch deck, or have one that isn't performing.

Lead by Jay Dickieson, an ex strategy consultant delivering board-level strategy projects for global brands like Tesco, Sainsbury’s and AT&T. Jay now spends his time building killer pitch decks that impress investors and help founders raise funding.

With a £600 million raised track record, if your deck isn’t performing this might be a no brainer of an investment to make.

Lucky for you, quick pitch has got our readers a discount of £150+vat on their Gold Pitch Deck Creation Package.

The Market

• Traditional recruitment agencies are typically expensive,demanding fees in excess of 20% and managing PSL’s is highly time consuming.

• Small businesses and startups struggle to pay fees and miss great talent because they can’t afford to have dedicated talent functions.

This startup is solving two key problems:

• Existing HR tech platforms require candidates looking for jobs to sign up meaning they miss out on 75%+ of the market.

• This is where headhunters come in however SME’s and especially startups likely can’t afford these services.

JOBBA allows indie recruiters to earn more and businesses looking for top talent to spend less all while getting access to both on a off-market candidates.
