Hyderabad based startup Stockroom.io raises funding

What does a company get out of an applicant’s resume? Only what the applicant wishes to display – his education, experience and basic interests. But what about his actual talents or expertise? What about his soft skills and his personality? Stockroom.io discovered that this was the major problem that created skill gap in the market of job seekers and job offerors. They understood that there was no place in the resume to display the talents of the individual. Taking into consideration this problem, Stockroom. io was born.

This unique startup, went live four months back in May 2015 on product hunt and emerged as one of the top most voted product. Stockroom.io helps web developers create their portfolio with just a click using Github signup. The platform currently supports Github, Stackoverflow and Bitbucket integrations and is planning to launch integrations with other social profiles soon.

After proper analysis and deep understanding of the firm’s growth plans and their strategies, yesterday on 7th October 2015 an undisclosed angel investor decided to invest in their firm and that is when Stockroom.in came up with this awesome news that their firm raises seed fund of $70,000  from an undisclosed angel investor.

About Stockroom.io (Stellar Software Technologies Pvt Ltd)

Today they have grown from a duo team to a 6 member team. Puru Modani, a member of the ‘Mumbai angels screening committee’ and a seasoned angel investor is currently on the advisory board of this venture.

Future plans of Stockroom

With the seed fund that they have received, the team of Stockroom aims to expend their wings of operations and aim to disrupt the main stream hiring process with their growth plans.

Presently, they allow you (as a developer) to build your portfolio over their website just through few clicks. All you have to do is, register yourself, authenticate all details and once it’s all authorized by you, your profile is ready to go live and be shared with the public.
