Verified skills platform that turns bootcamp graduates into trusted job candidates

Companies are eager to bring on bootcamp graduates but struggle to distinguish who genuinely possesses the right capabilities. SkillBridge solves this gap by producing verified micro-credentials that bootcamps issue and hiring managers rely on. After completing a coding bootcamp or data science program, graduates receive a tamper-proof digital badge detailing exactly what they created, how they performed, and which competencies they demonstrated. Instead of making assumptions from resumes, employers can sort applicants by authenticated abilities. Bootcamps pay $2,000–$5,000 per year to distribute credentials, along with $500 for each successful hire. Employers subscribe at $200–$500 monthly for API access that lets them search candidates by proven skills. The strategic entry point is signing up 50+ bootcamps that urgently need to boost their employment outcomes and validate the cost of their programs. Launch by working hands-on with 3–5 bootcamps, designing tailored credential frameworks for each curriculum. Leverage blockchain or secure APIs to ensure every credential is independently verifiable, and develop a straightforward employer interface for browsing and filtering talent. Integrate with ATS tools like Greenhouse or Lever so verified competencies surface directly within existing recruitment workflows. Expansion comes through bootcamp word-of-mouth, SEO content targeting "skills-based hiring," and LinkedIn case studies featuring graduates who landed roles via authenticated credentials. The bigger vision is establishing the definitive standard for alternative education verification, branching into trade schools, online learning platforms, and professional certifications. With 500 education providers and 2,000 employers on the platform, you're projecting $5M ARR in a market that's starving for credibility around non-traditional talent.
