Product

For a long time we've only been able to judge professionals by their labels and associations; job titles, employers, board positions, resumes, bios and LinkedIn profiles.

Zerply is building an evidence-based identity for professionals, that becomes more powerful over time as it incorporates what they've done, and who they've worked with.

Nathan Beckord Cool to see Zerply trending as a hot startup on Crunchbase-- ahead of Square, Uber, Twitter and Fab!

Nicolai Wadstrom Wow! From Zerply yesterday: "We've seen a huge change in engagement over the last two weeks - http://cl.ly/DW1p (measured in sessions) From 19K to 129K per week.”

Nathan Beckord Engagement, engagement, engagement-- love the increasingly-steep slope of Zerply's active member sessions graph!

Steve Bennet The traditional resume is on life support. Platforms that showcase skills, talents and expertise along with social proof such as Zerply are very cool! Millennials are not going to rely on resumes and linkedin to find meaningful work.

I'm excited to be part of Zerply's seed financing and there is room for an additional 1-2 angels.
