Our campaign ends in 11 hours!
Our crowdfunding campaign on Republic ends this evening. We’ve been very pleased by the response we’ve gotten to our business, along with incredibly kind words of support. For those who’ve chosen to invest, we are honored to have you join us on our journey.
The coronavirus pandemic has impacted us all, especially those with records. For the thousands of deserving men and women we have helped land employment, nearly all have been let go. Our people typically work at warehouses and manufacturing plans in roles that won’t allow them to work at home.
But we are definitely seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, as states are beginning to “open up,” and select employers are resuming operations. For most employers, once they have the go-ahead to get back to work, they are eager to staff up quickly. And that’s where we can help. With more than 11 million job seekers in our community, our chief value proposition is that we have great workers, nationally, available at scale and on-demand.
We have recently introduced a variety of services to help our job seekers deal with the crisis: we established an 800-number call-in, to answer questions about filing for unemployment, learning where to get testing and medical care, along with employment questions. Maybe most important, we made ourselves available to people who perhaps are merely looking for a sympathetic, understanding voice to talk to. We’ll be introducing podcasts and webinars, as well. And finally, we’re using this opportunity to encourage our clients to pursue a variety of training options that we’ve vetted.
We had our best month (revenue-wise) in February. We think we can get back on track and see outstanding financial results soon, while providing critical assistance to the population we serve. As we’re always said, we’re seeking double bottom line returns: do massive social good AND build a big, successful business.
With just a few hours to go, I’d be remiss if I didn’t ask you (again) to consider adding to your investment. And if you haven’t invested yet, now’s the time. It’ll mean a lot to people who could really use some help.
Thanks once again for your incredible vote of confidence. Please make sure you’re staying safe and healthy, so you can share our success now and in the future.
