Jesse
MergeSkills helps group win government contract
Jesse is a systems engineer who's spent years designing radar systems for defense companies. He recently came across a lucrative opportunity posted by the Army. Jesse was convinced he could deliver what they needed and saw it as a chance to fulfill a dream and start his own firm. Unfortunately, he didn't know anyone with the technical or financial capital to make his idea happen. That is, he didn't until he discovered MergeSkills.
He started by logging into the database and pulling up the government opportunity that initially triggered his brainstorm. Then he created a group for it, and was able to automatically import all the info and documents that went with it.
When it came to finding the perfect teammates for his group, Jesse filled out detailed criteria for each member required, from technical partners to those who could write the proposals and put up the capital to fund the venture. The Group Member Matching Tool immediately delivered several strong prospects for every category. Jesse checked them out in greater detail with MergeSkills' member-to-member rating system and background verification. With his chosen candidates on board, Jesse used the online business consulting services offered through a MergeSkills partner who assisted him with forming a legal entity.
The fully-assembled group of highly skilled pros relied on the collaboration toolkit to put together a proposal for the contract…which they won handily. In fact, Jesse's MergeSkills team has since gone on to win million-dollar contracts for additional phases of the project. The company that Jesse once only dreamed of starting is now worth millions of dollars; and they still rely on MergeSkills to find new team members and opportunities.
