We are looking to create the simplest way to establish one’s SweatInvestor profile. Below is the current template that requests an image, summary paragraph and a few bullets under each section header (example profile). At some point, once we create a few standard topics and formats for SweatInvesting, the SweatInvestor Expertise and Milestones will be more standardized resulting in interesting search, browsing and matching features.
The current template is summarized below (a profile picture is also highly recommended).
Summary
A short paragraph that summarizes your background, much like the format used by LinkedIn.
Key Milestones
A few bullets to highlight relevent things you’ve accomplished that are related to your SweatInvestor expertise. Companies looking for guidance on achieving these milestones may find you this way.
Corporate History
Bullets to the companies you’ve been involved with would be helpful, or you can simply link to your LinkedIn profile (e.g., http://www.linkedin.com/in/walterroth)
Sweat Investing Expertise
We’ll be working to standardize this section as much as possible, but for now, this sections lists generalized ares of expertise based on your milestones and experiences.
Interests
Lists bullets of your personal interests.
Education
Lists bullets that contain any formal education such as high school, college or any special training (please include links).
Sweat Portfolio
List the company name as a link to their website for each bullet. You can add a quick one liner in brackets for each line stating what type of sweatinvesting skills you’ve mainly invested for that company and/or link to the “SweatSuccess” report that describes the company, what you invested and the results.
Preferred Contact
Give the best way for potential portfolio companies to request your consideration. It could be a link to your personal blog or profile on your preferred social network. It could also be an email address or on to comment on one of your SweatInvestor posts on this blog. We’ll be refining this asap.
Other Links
To optimize SEO in Google, add SweatInvestor type key words and links to your profiles across the Internet and link to them here.
Note: This is a first draft. At some point we’ll get permission from each SweatInvestor to make public. Until then we’ll just be collecting these and refining the process and templates.
