Keep doing what you love: building ventures with confidence
Countless people pour time and money into acquiring shiny new certificates, digital badges, or online skills micro-credentials.
Yet, when it's time to land a job, switch careers, or move up, hiring managers shrug, unsure what these credentials mean.
Candidates feel stuck: mountains of knowledge, none of the doors opening.
It scratches—a maddening gap between effort and recognition.
Employers distrust or simply misunderstand digital badges and online certifications.
There's no cross-industry standard for validation; practical skills rarely translate to paper.
The gulf between learning platforms and real hiring remains; no tool gives employers and candidates mutual trust in verified, job-ready skills.
LinkedIn skills endorsements, digital badges, learning platform certificates, and online portfolios exist.
None enjoy universal employer trust; most are self-reported, easy to fake, or poorly understood by HR decision-makers.
No solution offers cross-platform, credible third-party recognition with strong verification.
Category | Score | Reason |
---|---|---|
Complexity | 8 | Building employer trust, technical verification, and compliance are challenging; multi-sided network effects needed. |
Profitability | 7 | Large market if trust is achieved, but price pressure/remuneration per user may be moderate; high sales costs. |
Speed to Market | 5 | Slow initial traction; partnership and credibility-building takes 12-24 months. |
Income Potential | 7 | Substantial if platform gains traction with B2B clients and high-value users; scalable with network effects. |
Innovation Level | 8 | Creating credible, cross-platform skills passports with third-party validation is not well-served in Europe. |
Scalability | 7 | Once core trust and integrations exist, expansion across sectors and geographies is feasible; early growth slow, then rapid after tipping point. |
SkillProve allows users to create a digital portfolio showcasing their actual skills through verified projects and peer reviews.
Upon completion of a course or a skill, users submit real-world projects which are peer-reviewed by industry experts.
The successful peer review earns the user a unique digital badge stored on a blockchain ledger, ensuring tamper-proof verification.
Employers can access these portfolios, viewing not just credentials but evidence of practical skills in action, giving a more comprehensive insight into the candidate's capabilities.
SkillProve closes the gap between digital credentials and employer trust by providing verifiable, project-based evidence of skills.
Blockchain ensures authenticity and prevents falsification, building trust with employers.
This approach integrates learning and verification, creating a seamless path from education to employment.
Job recruitment to verify candidate skills; Freelance platforms to vet professionals; Education institutions to validate and display student skills; Corporate training to assess employee's gained skills
Pilot partnerships with educational institutions; Beta testers from universities and early adopters; Industry expert endorsements
Blockchain technology is sufficiently mature to support a decentralized verification system, though costs associated with storage and transaction fees must be managed.
The competitive landscape includes existing platforms like LinkedIn Learning but lacks direct competitors utilizing blockchain for tamper-proof verification.
Partnering with educational institutions and industry experts will be crucial for credibility and network growth.
How to standardize project evaluations across different fields and industries?; What is the most effective way to incentivize industry experts to participate in peer reviewing?; What partnerships are needed to scale the use of blockchain for verification?
