We didn’t start with a big platform. We started with a promise: every hospitality and cruise professional deserves a real chance to be seen for what they can actually do — not just what fits on a page.

That’s why we’re building ProVideoCV around a simple, honest milestone: the Founding 888. Not a gimmick — a real number, tied to how we grow. The first 888 candidates who complete a genuine, verified profile on this platform become part of its founding community. No shortcuts, no fake accounts, no anonymous noise.

We’re not trying to be LinkedIn. LinkedIn is enormous, and a lot of it is noise — recycled posts, inflated titles, accounts nobody can verify. We want the opposite: a smaller, human, verified place where a recruiter can trust that the person in the video is exactly who they say they are. That means every account here will need to be verified — starting with a confirmed email address, with more verification steps to come as we grow. It’s slower. It’s also the only way this stays worth something.

We’re at the very beginning of this road. Zero doesn’t stay zero for long — but we’d rather grow slowly with real people than grow fast with empty profiles. If you’re in hospitality or cruise and you’re looking for your next role, this is your invitation to be one of the first 888. If you’re hiring, this is your invitation to watch a founding community build itself in public, one honest video CV at a time.
