CertificationPoint Enters Next Stage(Seed Round) of VC Funding Initiative

CertificationPoint.Org is a leading global online employment marketplace which bridges the gap between college student freelancers seeking real-world job experience and businesses looking for inexpensive yet quality assistance for their projects.

CertificationPoint, the global online employment marketplace which allows clients to hire businesses, independent contractors, as well as college students (via mutually beneficial project-based learning TASCERTS), announced today that it has officially entered the Seed Funding stage, and is also actively seeking a lead investor. Non-investors are able to contribute or donate towards boosting CertificationPoint’s growth via the company’s Indiegogo campaign.

“We are very pleased with the VC Funding progress of CertificationPoint,” said Mr. Byron Giles, CertificationPoint Founder. “We’ve voted to move this initiative forward into the Seed Funding stage, aiming to secure more capital that will support our company’s growth and allow us to focus on strengthening our team and the CertificationPoint marketplace. As we look forward to Seed funding, we are hoping to collaborate with a lead investor that will help take CertificationPoint to the next level, and continue its current position as the number one online resource for college student freelance and project-based learning in almost every industry.”

CertificationPoint has already attracted the interest of Fortune 1000 companies that use its portal to recruit quality candidates, freelancers and college student freelancers to cover their staffing needs. Students have the opportunity to earn income, gain work experience and begin certifying their career, all while building their portfolio via collaborative projects with peers from other colleges.  Seasoned freelancers can expand their clientele and manage a versatile portfolio that would give them a competitive advantage in their respective industries. Select colleges have began using the companion book “Unleashing Your Harnessed Potential”  for in-course projects to fill student knowledge gaps.

In addition to its marketplace, CertificationPoint further hosts freelance credentialing exam for students that lead to a wide range of career-related certifications. Acquiring certifications in their fields of interest does not only allow students to hone their skills, but also boosts their employment potential through providing them with credentials that attest to the fact that they possess the knowledge required for the positions they intend to pursue.

At the time of writing, the company’s IPO is projected to be held in January of 2020.
