Verko is web-based software that helps college students land jobs through better networking. Like a personal trainer, we provide an overall strategy, discipline and instruction to help students network more effectively. We accomplish this through e-learning & organizational software (CRM). 

Students are afraid to network. They find it uncomfortable and unnatural. They don’t know how and they don’t always have the time. However, a personal connection is the way that the majority of students find their first job. We make it all easier. We provide provide a disciplined strategy for networking that makes the process natural and intuitive. We improve a student’s networking through tailored education. Once students start networking they need help staying organized. We simplify organization with a dashboard that provides an intuitive contact relationship management (CRM) system.

We integrate educational content with CRM functionality to serve the right piece of advice as you need to conduct your job search. Since we know what you are doing in the future we can help you prepare before, reflect afterwards and remind you to follow-up in a month. We help students stay disciplined. Discipline plus strategy means stronger relationships, more mentors, better job opportunities and, hopefully, a better understanding of your career goals. A powerful network is not the number of connections or friends you have, it is how you interact with each of them.

We're excited about the oppurtunity to present at SeedCon Fast-Pitch.  Click https://signup.verko.me if you'd like to hear more.  -The Verko Team (Hunter Swartz, Tyler Swartz, Paul Fung)
