Here's an exclusive look at the pitch deck that Y Combinator alum Careerist, a tech career training and job placement startup, used to raise $8 million
The startup was founded in 2019 and was in Y Combinator's spring 2021 cohort. Careerist cofounder and CEO Ivan Tsybaev's first discovered his passion for computer science as a child. As a high school student in Russia, Tsybaev would attend coding competitions, and wanted to pursue computer science in college.
Unfortunately, his family couldn't afford to send him to Moscow for college to pursue this track. But ultimately, he went to Sakhalin State University and became a financial analyst instead. Yet for years, he still"kept this frustration" that he wasn't able to become a software developer, he told Insider.
Tsybaev moved to the United States in 2009 to become a tech entrepreneur. After founding several companies, including the online trucking marketplace TruckerPath, he teamed up with TruckerPath colleague Max Gusakov and the business development professional Max Glubochansky to launch Careerist, to be the tech careershe wished he had when he was looking to pursue a career in software development in high school.
Now, Careerist has raised $8 million in a Series A round from a range of investors, including Cathexis Ventures, Xploration Capital, Cold Start Ventures, Grand Park Ventures, Y Combinator, and angel investors like James Herbert from First Republic Bank and Mikita Mikado, the founder of PandaDoc.
