The 500 career experts who own Marqee.

Marqee is being built by the people who spend every day helping others land jobs. These are our Founding Members.

[500] Founding Member seats [8] anchor investors $1,000 minimum via Reg CF

Reg CF campaign not yet live. This page previews what our Founding Members wall will look like once the Regulation Crowdfunding round closes. Every card below is a placeholder. Marqee is currently testing the waters under SEC Rule 206. No money is being accepted. Add yourself to the waitlist at /invest.html.

The industry-owned model

Ownership changes what a platform optimizes for.

Every other career platform answers to somebody who isn't a career professional. LinkedIn answers to Microsoft's Wall Street reporting. Indeed answers to a Japanese conglomerate. Handshake answers to a syndicate of venture funds on a ten-year return clock. Marqee is designed to answer to the career industry itself — up to 500 career strategists, recruiters, coaches, HRBPs, and HR leaders holding common stock alongside a smaller cohort of accredited operators and anchor investors from the industry's senior ranks. That ownership structure is not a marketing story. It's a cap table. This page is where it becomes public.

Anchor investors

The senior operators writing the largest checks.

Anchors are senior HR industry leaders — VP+ at LinkedIn, Handshake, Indeed, Korn Ferry, Heidrick — or founders of career and HR-tech companies. Every listing on this page is placeholder text until each anchor opts in to be named after the Reg D 506(c) close.

Community benefits

What Founding Member access includes.

Ownership is the headline. But there is a working community of Founding Members underneath it — the people whose referrals, feedback, and product signal actually build the platform.

Private Discord channel

A private #founding-members Discord channel plus a Slack Connect mirror for teams that use Slack. Where Founding Members discuss roadmap tradeoffs, escalate placement asks, and share candidate wins in real time.

Quarterly investor updates

A written quarterly update — revenue, cohort growth, product roadmap, cash runway, hiring, wins, misses — delivered to every Founding Member's inbox and posted in the diligence room.

First-look on new products

Founding Members see product launches, tool releases, and pricing changes before the market does — with a two-week input window on anything material before it ships publicly.

Become a Founding Member.

Reg CF minimum is $1,000. Reg D 506(c) minimum is $5,000. The anchor path starts at $25,000 and is invite-only. Add yourself to the waitlist to be notified the day each path opens.
