startups since 2004
Over my sixteen years from 2004 to 2020 building tech startups, I never had the capital to attract enough people to realise my tech startup visions. Thanks to SkilledUp Life, no tech founder needs to go through the same challenge I went through.
SkilledUp Life began during the 2020 Covid-19 lockdown, first as Furloughed Life, a way to connect people suddenly without a role to tech founders who badly needed extra hands. After closing it at the end of July 2020, our founder, Manoj Ranaweera launched SkilledUp Life in August 2020 to help tech founders struggling to build their tech companies due to lack of capital through SkilledUp Lifers (skilled volunteers).
Read the full story
SkilledUp Life launched in August 2020, built around a simple, cluster-based approach: bring skilled Volunteers and capital-constrained tech founders together, under strict rules that protect both sides. Six years on, thousands of SkilledUp Lifers from around the world have volunteered with hundreds of tech startups, at every stage from idea validation through to go-to-market and beyond.
This anniversary offer exists for the same reason SkilledUp Life exists: so the next tech founder with an idea and no capital can build the team their vision deserves.
The Advanced Plan does not care what stage you are at.
Idea validation, product development, go to market or a tech startup already generating substantial monthly recurring revenue. The same Advanced Plan applies equally, so you can assemble the team to meet your specific needs.
Build a team of 100 Volunteers over your first 12 months.
Start with the combination most founders reach for first: a Human Resources (HR) Volunteer to run recruitment and onboarding, paired with an Executive Assistant (EA) Volunteer to keep your own time focused on the decisions only you can make. Grow the rest of the team stage by stage from there.
A full market research team.
Validate before you commit a single line of code. Systematic customer development and competitor analysis replace guesswork, at any stage from a first sketch to a pivot.
A full product team.
From wireframe to shipped release, with the roles a funded team would hire for, without the payroll.
A full marketing team.
Build demand before launch day, or keep it flowing well after. The same team supports a pre-launch waitlist and a mature growth engine alike.
A full sales team.
Turn customer development conversations into pre paid revenue before you launch, or accelerate growth once you have.
A full customer success team.
Once revenue starts, protect it. A team dedicated to onboarding, retention and expansion as your monthly recurring revenue grows.
A no brainer, either way you subscribe.
Apply code 6YEARS at checkout on the Advanced Plan. It applies to both Monthly and Annual billing.
Six years for us. Half price for you.
Whether you are bootstrapped, fundraising or venture backed, the Advanced Plan gives you the full team your stage needs. Offer expires on 10th August 2026.
