Jose

I am absolutely driven behind the idea of scaling a startup to success. I believe my entrepreneurial mindset consists primarily of persistence, determination, and proactivity.

I've been invited to pitch competitions across Los Angeles and San Diego and have begun to build a decent VC network, having already had intro calls with some of them.

I am not a technical founder but do understand the concepts and functionality behind Swift/SwiftUI, MongoDB, AWS, Git, and OneSignal.

EA$Y's goal is to facilitate student career growth through a business (startup) -to-student freelance platform.

As internships are a good way to gain experience, over 43% are unpaid and students rarely have the opportunity to showcase their skills. Simultaneously, freelance work has grown exponentially over the years with freelancers in the US expected to grow from 70.4 m to 90.1 in 2028. Gen Z (18-22yo - student demographic) is opting in for freelancing in 53% of cases according to Demand Sage. However, there is no platform today focusing on facilitating student freelance opportunities.
