QDOOZ, a life skills improvement platform, has launched a month-long crowdfunding campaign on Crowdcube to raise a minimum of GBP500,000. QDOOZ will cap the Crowdcube raise to a maximum of GBP1,550,000.
This campaign comes after a successful earlier round of funding which raised GBP3 million from 50 private investors.
QDOOZ is a digital platform which is addressing the distinct gap in personal life skills education and training. With proprietary intellectual property (IP) and a clever, comprehensively researched business plan and a clear monetisation strategy, QDOOZ will launch in Q2 2019 to more than three million identified potential users. It will be free to access, with revenues generated via an “access all areas” premium subscription or an ad-driven, browse only, freemium membership.
After two years of research and development, QDOOZ has a number of corporate endorsements and partnerships in place. This includes more than 10 of the UK’s largest Chartered Professional Membership organisations with more than 1.5m potential members. Additionally, a partnership with UCAS Media will present QDOOZ to 1.5m UK university students.
With an A-list team of executives, shareholders and advisors already in place, QDOOZ has been developed by David C M Carter, widely regarded as one of the world’s leading CEO mentors.
Founder and CEO, David C M Carter, says: “Forty per cent of jobs that exist today won’t exist in 10 years’ time. Life skills have been identified as vital to current and future job markets, yet there is no formal education or training currently addressing this. Our approach and technology is designed to help people develop desirable skills to benefit both employers and society.”
“QDOOZ provides the tools, resources and insights needed for motivated people to develop a comprehensive range of life skills. Our actionable content enables real life solutions and can be accessed through any device. We have produced hundreds of expert tools, videos, articles, infographics and listicles, all aimed to help close this vital skills gap.”
Life skills and qualities are highly sought after by employers and are seen as the passport to career success and fulfilment in life. They are rarely taught in schools or colleges, and are generally ignored in workplace training schemes, apart from exclusive 1:1 coaching for senior executives. Time spent on QDOOZ will also count towards CPD points.
