Idea Behind Company

George Avgenakis came up with the idea for Loopcv while struggling to balance job searching with his academic research. During the final months of his master's thesis in Belgium, he found it challenging to dedicate time and energy to finding a job. This experience made him realize that while there are many tools available for companies to streamline hiring processes, few tools exist to help job seekers automate their job search.

George saw an opportunity to develop a platform that could simplify the job application process for individuals. His vision was to create a service that would aggregate jobs from multiple sources and automate the application process, allowing users to focus more on their current responsibilities. The demand for such a tool became evident when George shared his idea on Reddit and quickly gained traction.

Creating the Company

To turn his idea into a reality, George built a simple landing page for Loopcv and shared it on Reddit, where it quickly went viral. Within a short time, he received hundreds of signups and emails from interested users. This early success gave George the confidence to move forward with the development of the platform.

He began looking for co-founders to help build the technical aspects of Loopcv. Using LinkedIn, he connected with experienced developers who could create the software, microservices, and web-scraping solutions needed to power the platform. The first version of Loopcv was a basic tool that integrated with LinkedIn and Indeed to collect job postings and send emails through Sendgrid.

With a small team in place, Loopcv started to evolve. George and his co-founders refined the platform’s features, focusing on improving the user experience and adding more functionality to their machine learning models. Early feedback from users played a critical role in shaping the platform.

Launching the Business

Loopcv’s initial launch took place on platforms like Reddit and Indie Hackers. George used job-related subreddits to promote the platform and gather feedback from users. Every time someone asked for advice on job searching, he shared the Loopcv link, which helped the platform gain visibility.

The feedback collected from early users helped George prioritize the most important features for the platform’s development. Instead of trying to build every feature requested, he focused on what made sense for the business model. This approach allowed Loopcv to maintain a clear vision while avoiding feature overload.

Shortly after launch, Loopcv received an angel investment, which helped the company scale its operations. The investment came through a European competition, and it marked a turning point for the business. As a result, Loopcv could enhance its product and reach a larger audience.

Earnings

Loopcv generates $15K in monthly revenue, primarily through its business-to-business (B2B) solutions. The company focuses on SEO to attract users, investing in content creation, link building, and affiliate marketing. In addition, the platform has offered Lifetime deals on various sites like Appsumo, which provided a quick revenue boost and brought in new business clients.

The company’s growth strategy includes expanding its affiliate marketing program and building partnerships with organizations in related industries. By focusing on content and SEO, Loopcv aims to continue attracting users organically. The company also experiments with A/B testing to improve its services and cater to customer needs.
