Background

Ryan Pfeifer, a CU Boulder student, and his brother Steven are the founders of Nektyd, a platform designed for innovative individuals. Steven and Ryan have put in over 18-months of coding and sweat to help create a go-to search platform for any service. 

Problem It Solves

Nektyd wants to give the community a voice. They belive everyone should be able to find work that fits their busy schedules and monetizes their skills.

How It Works

The platform connects clients to services through an uber-for-anything model (dog walking,tutoring, babysitting, marketing, programming, snow shoveling, etc.) Through this uber-for-anything service, they can set a fee for all work performed through their service. They will hire Heroes to do the work. With every job the Hero works, the Points of Contact will take a percentage.

Current State

Currently, Ryan and Steven are creating inspiring videos and content to help everyone in their community get out and get inspired to accomplish anything. They want to provide value within all content they publish. Their campaign for this year is "Become a Hero." Their focus is inspiring the community with relevant everyday Heroes and motivational videos. By gaining viewers, they hope everyone sees the potential in becoming a user of Nektyd.
