It allows the user to build connections and find a team of passionate individuals alike.
Vëra is also a place for inspiration and to get a head start to make your ideas become a reality.
Vëra embeds a strong pairing system, so-called Network. Our community connects people based on personal interests and ideas. It allows users to like, comment, and message other individuals and take their crazy business idea to the next step.

Competitive analysis

Competitors focus on finding mentors and recruiting professionals.
-
You have to have fleshed out ideas with the complete design and pitch ready to share with the community.
So, what makes us different?
-
We are focusing on connecting ordinary people with ideas and passions, not just their skills.
-
Any level of pitch is possible. From very developed ideas to just a sentence with some photos is fine.
-
User’s will have access to not only people with similar ideas, they can connect and learn from experienced users and have access to educational business content.
