Upstryve

There are a record number of retiring professionals in the trades industry, but not enough individuals to fill their shoes. Despite offering incentives and opportunities to make the same starting wage as the average office job, there are not enough young individuals to fill these job vacancies.

With over 5,000 licenses in the United States, it can be a challenge for aspiring trade professionals to find the right expert and program to become certified. We believe the trades test prep industry is ready for a change. Students are interested in a one-on-one experience. These students have a higher first time pass rate than students who attend seminars with large groups of students.

Upstryve has been profitable since inception with high gross margins of 40% and high EBITDA margins of 20%.
We have a library of 500 plus student self study programs in the trade and vocational industry.
We give our tutors three ways to make money, enabling them to make a full time career out of this, if desired.
Strong proof of concept in 2020 with a sample size of 20 tutors and industry experts and over 500 students.
Our team members have expertise in customer acquisition, lead generation and social media marketing.
