Many young entrepreneurs and students have successful business models that they wish to start. However, they lack the financial means to start over or they are simply in need for a partnership with some other skill set. It has always been a challenge to find a platform dedicated to the needs of young entrepreneurs and future leaders. This problem space forms the basis of our platform - eBusiness.
The idea is to create a community platform that connects business enthusiasts, investors and a diverse set of skilled people together on one platform. Users are able to create searchable profiles, identify their interests using unique hashtags and search potential partners using the skill matchmaking.
eBusiness aims to fill in the gap between Indeed and BusinessPartners, that are primarily focused on employment and crowdfunding respectively. Thus, we are different from Indeed as we are not focused on employment but rather the initial startup phase of a business which includes forming partnerships, sharing and discussing confidential ideas under strict confidentiality.
Our concept also differs from BusinessPartners as we do not rely on crowdfunding and employment but rather sharing idea by mutual agreement between two or more parties. We will harness the power of social and mobile computing to achieve its aims. An online website will be established that provides its users with a directory search of user profiles, discussion forums, messenger, partnership formation.
