Definitely more interesting than about.me and more appealing than linkedin.

But will the people I want actually bother seeing my profile on tyba (employers, investors, clients, etc)?

We make sure we follow sound SEO techniques. Most Tyba sites rank on the first page of Google for the users name within days and often go up to the first result within weeks (since they have more unique content then for instance an About.me page)

We actively try to be more appealing than LinkedIn since our target user is overall younger. Students today are constantly saying "LinkedIn is borring"

We also see users currently including their Tyba site (especially premium members) in their CV, email signature, and on their online profiles.

I'm really liking this. I guess I'll make it my personal homepage.

A quick feedback: I'm reading your profile right now, and I wish there were more links: I'm clicking in your favorite books to read more about them, or on "Founder of Twollars" to know more about it.

Thank you for the kind words.

I completely agree, we are constantly working on bringing new features out and one of the upcoming ones (end of next week) will be what we call the "expanded work module" where users upload more types of content for a work experience to go beyond text.

There is still a LOT of work to be done, but we're working hard at it on our end.

Thank you for the feedback!

For personal info, it would also be really great if we could have links to other personal websites (like my GitHub).
