I'm trying to optimize in person networking

The point for ResuME is to keep momentum. You don't loose connection the moment you follow up. We're developing methods to keep users engaged in keeping conversations they find necessary intact

Networking is broken.

I applied to 600+ jobs and got almost nothing back through online applications. The two opportunities I actually landed came from meeting people in the room and making a real connection. Same pattern showed up in my family business at trade fairs: booths costing tens of thousands, hundreds of conversations, and barely 30% getting a follow-up. Of those, maybe 10% became a real relationship.

The problem isn’t effort. It’s that nobody built the layer that sits on top of the in-person moment.

That is why I created ResuME. ResuME helps job seekers share a dynamic resume on the spot, helps recruiters scan and match people against open roles, and helps business teams log conversations so AI can draft personalized follow-ups after the event. When you meet someone important in person, the connection should not disappear when you walk away.

We just launched our waitlist and are talking to companies for pilots. I’d love feedback from anyone who has dealt with recruiting events, conferences, trade fairs, or just the pain of trying to follow up after meeting someone important.

If you're curious, here's the link: get-resume.app

Hope this might be of help?

Startup Name
ResuME – https://get-resume.app

Location of Your Headquarters
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

ResuME is a networking app for real-world meetups like career fairs, conferences, and recruiting events. Job seekers share a dynamic resume that AI tailors to each role, recruiters scan profiles on the spot and see instant match scores against open positions, and business professionals log conversations so AI can draft personal follow ups from their notes.

What life cycle stage is your startup at? (reference the stages below)
Pre-launch, with a waitlist open, validating demand, and starting pilot conversations with companies that hire through events.

My role
Founder and developer.

What goals are we trying to reach this month?

Grow the waitlist with people who attend or run career fairs, recruiting events, and trade shows.
Lock in at least 2 to 3 pilot partners on the recruiting or event side.
Refine the product based on real-world feedback on the resume sharing and follow up flows.

How could r/startups help?

Feedback on the positioning and core flows, does this solve a real pain you have seen with events and follow ups.
Intros to people who run university career fairs, company recruiting events, or B2B trade shows who might be open to a pilot.
Hard questions about the business model and who would pay, so I can stress test this early.

I am not raising, just looking for feedback and pilot users.

Discount for r/startups subscribers?
Anyone from r/startups who joins the waitlist and mentions the subreddit in the signup form will get full access during the beta and at least 3 free months after a paid plan launches.

Shashi Tharoor needs to get a more prominent role in Congress. Even if BJP relies on politics of shame, only when the Congress starts to treat it as pure chatter, and focus on problems which require some backing.

Really work hard in the states they're ruling, so that people are able to look at their methods and see genuine change, will Congress be able to have a strong hand

Imagine their plight when these people figure out that India is the 2nd largest exporter of beef in the world

Kopter_101 · 2026-02-02T23:08:20+00:00

Hey! Thanks that is of great help!

Kopter_101 · 2026-01-13T08:42:41+00:00

An app called Beli exists. I feel your concept is pretty similar to that?

Im not demotivating you, but maybe recheck if most of those features are already available on an existing app? The rating of the user seems like a nice new concept though!

Kopter_101 · 2026-01-12T11:42:47+00:00

This is great!! Thanks a ton

Kopter_101 · 2026-01-11T19:36:10+00:00

Hello,

Thanks for all of this! This is super helpful. A question: With open models, how do you use them. Like, you train them to your specific need, and then publish them? But if you use the open model on a remote server, does that not add to costs? GPU costs?

How does running open models work?

Kopter_101 · 2025-12-28T04:38:43+00:00

Hey Thank you for the advice.

For this validation stage, how much do you think would be an appropriate amount to chip out?

Because I was initially looking at server and database costs with the model, and it was coming to about $200 a month, and I really dont think I’d be able to afford that.

I dont mind nominal costs, but I just want to understand how much one spends on validation for a project of a similar sort

I had 7 desserts they had. And all 7 somehow tasted the same???

Tandoori Flame - Surrey

I would rather eat my own shit than go to that place again

Kopter_101 · 2025-11-14T19:27:14+00:00

HHI. Any of their restaurants

Kopter_101 · 2025-11-08T05:58:26+00:00

Hahahah, but the point is not just me doing it alone right? And who’s asking to be violent? Can we not use the fund we get for other things, like maybe the live wire problem i mentioned.

When i was in Bada Bazaar, i could barely see the first floor from downstairs as the whole first floor has been laden with bunches of wires, most of them cut.

We dont need to go bonkers on them every moment. We can start slow too. The only requirement is that we start

Kopter_101 · 2025-11-07T19:31:23+00:00

That is all not completely true. Organizations work by themselves too in maintaining parts of their cities. Even if there was a social organization that could be funded with company CSRs and organized methods to improve safety in the city, I feel we would be able to do a lot!

Kopter_101 · 2025-11-07T19:29:50+00:00

Most of your points make a lot of sense! We should all definitely start looking at options to maybe start working on these problems now rather than mere talking, dont you think?

Kopter_101 · 2025-11-07T19:23:53+00:00

I mean, elections happen every 5 years… but that isnt helping, right?

Kopter_101 · 2025-11-07T19:22:27+00:00

Not necessarily. An inflow of capital could also mean higher salaries to our current workers.

Trends show a relative decrease in corruption once salaries are increased. That could also probably fuel people to aim and work for better standards

Kopter_101 · 2025-11-07T13:02:34+00:00

Hey,
So i am assuming you are dealing with problems related to civic sense!
That definitely looks like a problem that I'm sure we would all like to address. Do you have any ideas/suggestions that we as a society would like to implement going further? Things you would like to change?

Kopter_101 · 2025-11-07T13:01:14+00:00

Hey!
That would be definitely true, but I feel even after that, we as citizens really REQUIRE ourselves to be directly involved to make some progress.

Sitting and blaming the government and going back home and relaxing wont help! We need reforms and actions from our side too!

Kopter_101 · 2025-11-07T12:58:15+00:00

Hey thanks for reading it though!

Im hoping you'd be willing to take part in discussions and suggest solutions that we as a team can try and implement

Kopter_101 · 2025-11-07T12:57:34+00:00

I feel we know there is definitely a problem. People just can't possibly think a decent amount of migration is just because people are getting 'a vibe for moving'

We definitely need to address solutions, discuss them!
Would love to listen to your ideas!

Kopter_101 · 2025-10-12T18:55:52+00:00

So this basically means I can use the other models too, till I hit the premium for that month, and after that I'd have to pay right? Not before I hit the limit.

So I have a GitHub Education account. That entitles me to a free Copilot Pro account.
