Summary
MISSION
-
to solve the "rat race" by empowering people to have intentional careers

offer a Career platform, that'll serve as a lifelong companion for the individual to tame their careers and live intentional lives
STRATEGY

Yuga's unique product design ensures all B2B users are future B2C users
WHY NOW
-
in the post-pandemic world, the employee has leverage (and renewed perspective of priorities), as demonstrated by the "Great Resignation"
-
companies need to acknowledge employee agency and work with it
-
they need new tools, since all their company-centric tools for OKR/HR were designed pre-pandemic
MARKET
-
Massive, even just for the B2B use-case
-
initial focus is growth-stage tech companies in the US, initially
-

GTM will be product-led and inbound marketing
PRODUCT

basically democratizing the good manager's playbook for all
