Hot startups: Moovia, business coworking platform

[Elton Miranda]

Imagine a professional social network that reaches way beyond business. A place where

you show and enhance your skills and talents, connect to a network of contacts, build your

professional reputation from feedback people give you, meet skilled people to build teams,

engage on amazing projects, and (finally!) work on your dreams – all for free. It’s really

dreamy, right? And here’s the good news: it already exists. Moovia.com is, as the co-founder

Rodrigo Griesi defines it himself, “a social network focused on getting things done".

Ok, we all realize we're already living in a world where the professional relationships are

changing – and changing fast. The curriculum (past experience, past tense), gives place to

your current talents (present tense!), full-time jobs gives place to projects, and companies to

groups of people. But here’s what Moovia is building: a modern workspace that hosts the new

professional behavior, a new environment for the already changing world.

Everything about Moovia.com is cool, in a way that working becomes pretty cool too. For

example, there’s the personal score. In all projects executed in Moovia.com people deliver

tasks, build value out of their work, plan together, comment on ideas and team knowledge,

and applaud their accomplishments. As a result, they are giving constant feedback about the

work of people around them. It gives value to people who really deliver and engage, the ones

who make it happen.

Being free to the user is also cool, right? So the resources to maintain the platform will come

from services provided to that community, like work exchange, search and team building

process, apps marketplace and personalized recommendations.

With so many value propositions already built on the platform, Moovia competes against

different markets – project management, job marketplaces and professional social networks,

like LINKEDIN, for example. But what makes Moovia.com unique is that it offers the whole

spectrum, the one-stop shop, and it has the entire feature base, making possible to determine

a number that represents project and team engagement.

No reason to wonder why, after only eight months and having just graduated from the

beta phase (where the team was focused on building the platform) and close to zero media

exposure yet, Moovia has already reached:

- More than 3,000 projects running on the platform. Every day 30 new projects are created.

- 7,000 members.

- More than 20,000 tasks created.

- Users from all over the world, mostly from USA and Brazil, but you can find members from

China, Philippines and Italy too.

Moovia co-founders are coming all the way from Brazil to the Silicon Valley next month. In

September they’ll be showing their case in the Brazilian Pavilion during Disrupt SF.

Here, why don’t you visit www.moovia.com and take a look for yourself? When you least

expect you’ll be working to have fun, no kidding!
