Marqee is being built by the people who spend every day helping others land jobs. These are our Founding Members.
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.
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.
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.
"[Placeholder anchor rationale — the anchor will supply a one-sentence answer to 'Why did you invest?' at listing time. Speaks to the industry-owned thesis and their skin in the game.]"
"[Placeholder anchor rationale — will speak to why a senior operator wanted early access, and what the platform needs to do for the industry over the next five years.]"
"[Placeholder anchor rationale — a coaching-firm founder will explain how industry ownership changes the referral and placement flywheel.]"
"[Placeholder anchor rationale — a retained search partner will speak to why the executive layer of the industry has a stake in seeing a next-generation platform emerge.]"
"[Placeholder anchor rationale — a placement-side operator will speak to why alignment on candidate quality changes everything about the search economy.]"
"[Placeholder anchor rationale — a Head of People at a growth-stage company will explain why they want the sourcing side of their pipeline built on an industry-owned rail.]"
"[Placeholder anchor rationale — a Chief Talent Officer will speak to how ownership of the platform changes their view of long-term candidate relationships.]"
"[Placeholder anchor rationale — an enterprise recruiting leader will describe why an industry-owned network beats a vendor-owned network on trust.]"
Every card below is a placeholder for a real Founding Member. Post-Reg CF close, the wall will show each investor's name, title, city, LinkedIn URL, and a one-sentence answer to "Why did you invest?"
"[Placeholder investor quote — a coach explaining why owning the platform they refer clients to is a better long-term bet than every referral kickback in the industry.]"
"[Placeholder investor quote — a technical recruiter on the leverage of owning the platform that produces their best candidates.]"

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.
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.
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.
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.

Testing-the-waters solicitation under SEC Rule 206 and Regulation D 506(c). No money is being accepted at this time. No securities are being offered for sale. All indications of interest are non-binding. An offering will only be made through official offering documents — Form C for Regulation Crowdfunding, or Subscription Agreement for Regulation D 506(c).
The Founding Members wall is a placeholder preview. Every card, name, title, city, quote, and LinkedIn URL is illustrative and does not represent an actual investor commitment. The public wall will populate only with opt-in Reg CF investors after the offering closes and the cap table is finalized by Marqee's transfer agent.
