We're raising £150,000
After two years of development and testing, Clu launched in March 2023 to help organisations plug their skills gaps by discovering talent in overlooked and underutilised communities.
We're just one year old but already generate over 100,000 skills-based opportunities weekly, successfully closing skills gaps for leading organisations, from Warner Bros Discovery to UKTV and The Bank of London.

Why invest

Background: We're growing quickly (4x in the last six months to over £100K ARR and almost £500K in pipeline deals), so we're offering friends and family a private investment opportunity where you can buy shares in Clu at a discounted rate and be part of our journey.
Why now?: In six months, we're raising capital from institutional investors at a valuation of £7.5M to launch Clu internationally - we already have investors committed to this. We're offering you shares now at a valuation of £2.5M, meaning your investment could triple in value this year alone.

Why we founded
Clu
We come from very different walks of life but share something in common: unconventional career paths that made us highly skilled at what we do but got our CVs constantly rejected when we were job hunting.
When we started asking people about what they hated about the job market, we learned that most people we knew had been overlooked for jobs they’d be great at, and most managers we knew were struggling with skills gaps in their teams.
We couldn’t find a solution connecting these dots, so we married our tech and team-building expertise to create a hiring tool that matches the value of a person’s skills to a company’s needs — regardless of where they learned them.
Clu improves
hiring process accuracy and outcomes for everyone
A social solution
to a major problem
The skills gap is expected to cost the economy over £11T by 2028. There are huge communities of people with critical skills needed by organisations; they just don't know they possess them.
​
We are working with over 100 education, empowerment and employability organisations so Clu can help the people they work with fully understand the value of their skills and introduce them to the organisations that need them most.
