Problem It Solves
Nektyd wants to give the community a voice. They belive everyone should be able to find work that fits their busy schedules and monetizes theirÌýskills.
How It Works
The platform connects clients to services through an uber-for-anything model (dog walking,tutoring, babysitting, marketing, programming, snow shoveling, etc.) Through this uber-for-anything service,Ìýthey can set a fee for all work performed through their service. TheyÌýwill hire Heroes to do the work. With every job the Hero works, the Points of Contact will take a percentage.
Current State
Currently, Ryan and StevenÌýare creating inspiring videos and content to help everyone in their community get out and get inspired to accomplish anything. They want to provide value within all content they publish. Their campaign for this year is "Become a Hero." Their focus is inspiring the community with relevant everyday Heroes and motivational videos. By gaining viewers, they hope everyone sees the potential in becoming a user of Nektyd.
