## Core Business

- Mission statement: “Make skilled blue‑collar work attractive.”

## Products & Services
- **PowerUs Platform**: A web‑based job marketplace where workers create an anonymous profile, specify preferences (region, salary, benefits), and receive curated job offers via email or WhatsApp. Employers can browse anonymized profiles when workers opt in. Focus is exclusively on full‑time, permanent roles (no temporary or agency work). Free for workers; employers pay for hiring.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed.
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding raised – **$37.89M** (approx. €34M) as of Series B. Series B round of **€24M** ($25.7M) announced September 2023.

## Competitive Advantages
- Exclusive focus on skilled blue‑collar trades (Handwerk) in Germany – a niche underserved by generalist job boards.
- Anonymous profiling protects workers from being seen by current employers.
- Proactive, curated job matching (workers don’t search – they receive relevant offers).
- Strong employer network in high‑growth sectors (renewable energy, EV charging, building refurbishment).
- Backed by top‑tier international VCs, providing credibility and funding for expansion.

## Strategic Focus
- Scaling the platform to become the #1 career platform for skilled blue‑collar workers in Germany.
- Supporting the energy transition by helping companies find workers for solar, heating, and EV infrastructure projects.

Annual Udemy training budget. Gym membership discounts (Urban Sports Club / Gympass) for Germany‑based employees. Laptop, monitor, and accessories provided.
- **Diversity & Impact**: Mission‑driven – directly contributing to tackling climate change and the energy transition. Employees work on a product that has already helped install 30,000+ solar systems.
