Early-stage career platform (300–500 users) seeking angel or sponsor support
Hi everyone,
I’m currently building a platform called Ratelys, focused on helping people make better career decisions by comparing companies in a more structured way.
The idea came from how fragmented company information is today. Salary data, interview experiences, and general sentiment all exist, but they are scattered and difficult to compare meaningfully. Ratelys brings these together and adds structured, community-driven rankings so users can evaluate companies side by side.
So far, the platform has reached around 300 to 500 active users contributing and exploring the data. Early engagement has been encouraging, but retention is still something I am actively working to improve.
I was recently laid off, which has allowed me to focus on building this full time. At the same time, I am currently covering infrastructure and maintenance costs myself, so I am starting to think more seriously about sustainability and growth.
I am looking to connect with people who:
- have experience scaling early-stage products or marketplaces
- are interested in the career / hiring space
- open to angel investment or small sponsorship support (with special thanks/feature on the website)
Happy to share more details, metrics, or walk through the product if there is interest.

Appreciate any feedback or thoughts as well. Thanks for reading.
