Startup Idea: LinkedIn Inspired Platform for Temporary Workers
There is a huge opportunity to create a LinkedIn for temporary workers such as construction workers.
I spent two months deeply validating this idea and discovered that staffing agencies and construction companies spend $50-$100k/year to try to fill these types of positions by posting on Craigslist, Indeed and other sites. It is a huge pain point for them and in their words it is a "nightmare".
The perfect solution would be a mobile linked in for these kinds of workers. I have created a full mockup of a solution that should give you a pretty good idea of wha I am talking about.

I discovered this opportunity during my initial show and tell research. After two months of validation and speaking to customers I finally realized that this project was not a good product founder fit for me.
Basically, it is hard to build social networks. Ultimately I realized I don't have as much passion about building a social network for construction workers as I do for the work I am already doing at nugget helping founders to start profitable side projects.
That said, I fully believe this is a unicorn level opportunity.
If you are serious about working on this idea I can give you access to my 2 months worth of customer interviews, market research, business model and go to market strategy.
Please note I can only hand this research info to one founder (or team)... It will need to be someone I believe is well positioned to execute this. So, you will need to pitch as to why you are the best one to move forward with this project!
