"Your biggest career opportunity shouldn't come from a cold email. It should come from a trusted connection."
This is Day 5 of Propel Earth's 30-Day Founder Showcase. GATSBIE is a new platform built by founders Yen Tran Hai and Xiru Lyu.
Gatsbie exists because the job hunt is broken for students. It’s a trusted referral platform where verified alumni from top schools post job openings they know about. Students from their alma mater can then see these exclusive opportunities and directly request a warm introduction, turning a cold application into a trusted connection.
Why This Matters
In the current system, talented students and recent graduates struggle to stand out in the crowd of applicants. Gatsbie levels the playing field by making a university's powerful but invisible network visible and actionable, ensuring that talent and merit get noticed.
Key Facts & Traction
* Built By & For The Community: As LBS alumni, Yen and Xiru designed the platform for the specific needs of students and graduates from top-tier universities.
* Verification-First Platform: Gatsbie is built on trust, using verified school networks and peer vouching to ensure every connection is credible.
Mission & Impact
The impact is about democratizing access to referrals. By creating a high-trust "give-and-get" community where alumni can support students, Gatsbie reduces reliance on pre-existing personal networks and makes merit the focus of career advancement.
The Opportunity
Gatsbie is seeking students, alumni, and universities to partner with and serve as test users for the platform. This is an opportunity to shape a new, high-trust career community. You can spread the word by sharing gatsbie.net with your university alumni groups, posting about it on LinkedIn, or sending it to a student or recent grad who needs it.
