TIE Connect’s ambition is to become a leading global matchmaking platform for students, companies and universities.
The Innovation Effect (TIE) is now in the process of developing a new digital matchmaking platform for students, young professionals, companies and universities. By combining TIE’s 9-year experience with smart tech, our ambition is to create an AI-powered “Tinder” for studies and work. With TIE Connect, we aim to help close the gap between studies and work by making it easier to get tasks solved with students and young workers as labour.
TIE Connect will ensure validated matchmaking of the right student/young professional to the right company/assignment – whether it is for paid work (projects, summer internships, part-time or full-time work), or credit-bearing and unpaid work (study/case assignments, bachelor’s/master’s theses and credit-bearing practice). With TIE Connect, we want to help companies recruit young talent faster, smarter and cheaper, assist universities in securing relevant practice and work experience for their students, and give students and young workers the opportunity to build their CV and earn an income from relevant work during and after their studies.
In the spring of 2024, we have conducted broad market and technology mapping, hired a new tech lead and closed pre-seed funding with backing from professional angel investors. We are now starting the development phase, and aim to launch a first simple version/MVP by mid-August 2024. However, we are already welcoming future users on TIE Connect’s landing page!
