Got an idea for a tech startup? Chances are you likely do not have the funds to get things going.

This is a very familiar road and many have gone this way before. For some, dreams were shattered due to lack of finances; for others largely due to lack of technical know-how. But what if there was a way to leverage on crowd-sourced know-how and a globally distributed team of non-paid talent. Does this sound interesting?

This is what Skilledup Life is about. A number of tech start-ups have built and grown their dreams into reality utilising non-paid talents from SkilledUp Life’s pool of Volunteers, which currently sit at 16,452 from 100 countries.

So imagine you are building a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) tech startup that needs a team of 4:

• A marketer (£1,000 Monthly)
• A Software Programmer (£1,500 Monthly)
• A customer acquisition agent (£1,000 Monthly)
• A customer support hero (£1,000 Monthly)

Total monthly budget amounting to £4,500.

So what if you learned that you could do all of these for £30 monthly on SkilledUp Life – That’s saving £4,470 monthly (Maybe more). 

So Imagine with a small monthly or annual subscription, you have access to an unlimited number of volunteers to help you build your tech start-up.
