One thing that might be a friction point reading this proposal (it was for me anyway), is that I don't know what a "staffing-prenuer" is, and a quick google search raised more questions then it answered. Is it someone who starts a staffing agency like a restaurateur? Sorry this might just be me; but I just wanted to let you know.

  I was also confused by this terminology. I personally find buzzwords pretty off-putting, and I don't really understand what "staffing" is in the first place -- is it like a temp agency?

    Appreciate your comments. A Staffing-preneur refers to all those entrepreneurs who start and own a staffing business.

  Appreciate your comments. A Staffing-preneur refers to any Technical Recruiters who are entrepreneurs. Would you have considered the proposal if I simply addressesed them as staffing entrepreuers? Or what would you have addressed them as? Open to suggestions/ideas. My goal is to democratize entrepreurship amongst Technical Recruiters, especially those that are just out of college and struggling to find a job.

    Ah I see. I think you can use the term but saying: > A Staffing-preneur refers to any Technical Recruiters who are entrepreneurs. At the beginning would have helped me. It's always hard to know whether or not to use or explain buzzwords, but keep in mind proposals might be read by lots of different kinds of people, so it's okay to be cautious.

The word staffing seems to confuse me. Reading further, helped me understand that its only for technical staffs. I love what you do under value proposition, as data analysis of the current market will be of great guidance.

Question regarding the goal - helping 10,000 people accomplish $1M in revenue in their first 12 months. 10,000 * $1M = $10B (per year). That is a very big number. It implies that the market you are addressing is at the very least $10B. Could you explain why the market is that big?

  The staffing industry market is close to $150 Billion. The largest technical staffing firm does over $8 Billion itself. It is a big industry.

I have personally evaluated madgigs website and business model. I found it extremely well designed and well conceptualized end to end solution for all staffing and execution needs -- from recruitment, interview, managing client list and following up on timesheets. A total ERP system for staffing companies

I have extensively researched on Madgigs and have to admit that it's a great platform for both the Candidates and the Recruiters. From finding a quality candidate till maintaining time sheets, all records at one place. MG can be named as an end to end recruitment tool.
