Esther, may I first say how wonderful your voice is during the elevator pitch? It felt like I was watching a television commercial with its high quality and convincingness! As you did mention, it is a very saturated market with competition, but your idea of fostering the new employees from the start to keep them motivated to grow throughout their work is one that I’m sure many other startup businesses would like to incorporate in their future plans. And as an employee in Japan, I wish ANY company or school or business here would have anything remotely similar to this (don’t think there is a market for it here unfortunately though). Maybe more detail on actual costs/prices for your revenue models, and examples of what kinds of materials your team would create would be more convincing. I’m not sure if you can run the whole operation with just a team of three, because I feel like it would be a lot of work for that small a team. I’m sure this idea would succeed with growing businesses (especially in the IT sector, I believe) if you plan on making it a reality!

Hi Tomek, many thanks for your kind review. Regarding costs, I did go fairly deep into the research for this assignment and spoke with a sales rep. from both ClearCompany and iCIMS Onboard, 2 of the 3 competitors To CompanyCAVU that I listed. They were both offering subscription models. iCIMS Onboard was priced at $5-7 USD per employee, plus a set-up cost. ClearCompany had a subscription pricing based on admins, with ~$6K USD per year for 2 admin seats. Neither company offered any creative services to help as they were very focused on forms and process. CompanyCAVU would stand apart from this as being a more creative service, with process bits woven in. Therefore, our pricing would be based on company sizes (S,M,L) and then a fee for the creative consulting and development team.
