To me, if the goal is to build a business, it would make sense to talk to the companies that could be interested and find out directly.

Good luck.

Thanks for your feedback! I'm a self-taught web developer that managed to find a gig after 11 months of learning and doing projects. Back then I realised that dev are in demand, but not so much the junior ones because companies want experience. But how can one earn experience if you don't hire them because they don't have that experience. Do you know what I mean?

I think I know what you mean. To be useful to junior developers and companies, companies have to want to use the platform. If companies don't want to use the platform, then the time junior developers creating and maintaining a profile on the platform is wasted (maybe the platform made finding a job harder because the time could have been spent doing other things).

The thing that might help junior developers is creating a real working channel to companies and creating that channel is more a business communication problem than a technical problem. Building the website is the easy part. Solving a problem that companies have is the hard part.
