The Problem We’re Solving

Startups fuel innovation, yet 70% struggle to find the right teams​.

The traditional job market isn’t designed for startup culture—where passion, risk-taking, and vision matter just as much as skills. Existing platforms focus only on salary-based jobs, leaving startups without the tools to attract the right people.

At the same time, professionals today want more than just a paycheck. 83% prioritize purpose, flexibility, and cultural fit over salary alone​. There’s a gap between startups and the talent they need to succeed—and that’s where WeRise comes in.

✔ Video Profiles – Startups can showcase their culture and vision, while talent can introduce themselves beyond a traditional CV.
✔ Cultural Alignment Assessments – AI-driven tools help both startups and professionals find teams that truly fit their work style and values.
✔ Flexible Compensation Models – Salary, equity, commission, co-founder roles—startups can offer more than just a paycheck to attract top talent.
✔ Investor Visibility – Startups can showcase their company to attract investors, and investors can track emerging startups in real-time.

Because when the right people come together, startups don’t just survive—they thrive.
