The Pitch

See the vision in 3 minutes

The Problem

Brilliant minds. Broken job search.

Consultants are the most structured thinkers in business. Their career search is anything but.

Candidate Side
60-hour weeks with zero time for a proper job search
200 applications on LinkedIn. 3 responses. None relevant.
30 weekly job alerts, mostly noise
Employer Side
Can't find the consultant talent they actually want
Job boards deliver hundreds of unqualified applicants
The best consultant talent is passive and never applies
The Gap
High noise-to-signal ratio on both sides.
The Solution

Set it once. Get matched every week.

Our AI agent learns your background and preferences, then delivers 3-5 curated roles weekly. No scrolling. No spam.

Creator Share Ownership Plan (CSOP)

Co-owners, not paid promoters.

Our CSOP (Creator Share Ownership Plan) gives creators real equity in NextStep. Instead of paying influencer fees, we make creators co-owners with skin in the game. They promote because they own it. Think PRIME or Feastables, but for SaaS.

Traditional Monetization
✕ Pay creators per post, they promote and move on
✕ No skin in the game, content feels like an ad
✕ Rent influence, don't own distribution
Creator Equity (CSOP)
✓ 4-year vest, 1-year cliff, tied to milestones
✓ Creators are co-owners, authentic content
✓ Compounding distribution at near-zero CAC
