My name is Opeoluwa Adewale Fasoro, I have been working on a professional social networking app called Scholarly since January this year. We launched our waiting list about two weeks ago and in just four days we had over 1000 people join our waiting list. In addition, we are currently managing over 200 volunteers. This validates our idea and provides evidence of the perceived value of our product within our target market. Although this product appears to be in high demand, I have had to fund the entire project through my PhD stipends, I have been looking for funding sources but in most cases, the time of fund disbursement is much later than our proposed launch date (September 1st) and we need the funds to help with marketing and product development (particularly completing our minimum viable product). To explain what Scholarly is all about, Scholarly can simply be described as Linkedin for GenZs from developing countries. We discovered that there exists a group of people on Linkedin who are being underserved by the platform due to their unique professional needs, these are GenZs based in developing countries. The career trajectory of GenZs in a developing country like Nigeria is far different from that of their contemporaries in developed countries. We hope that through Scholarly, we would be able to empower GenZs in developing countries (especially those in Africa) and by so doing, help bridge the opportunity gap. We hope to contribute to building a world where human talent meets with opportunities regardless of one's location or country of origin.
