Longtime lurker, new IAMA poster.

Basically, this is me: https://imgflip.com/i/qmh06

LinkedIn lets recruiters spam candidates with job offers. The candidates that everyone wants to hire are typically already happy, well paid, have interesting work, great job titles and higher levels of job satisfaction. There is no incentive for them to talk with a recruiter about another job. June creates the incentive by letting the candidate set a rate for their time to hear an offer. June users don't have to take the job they are offered, their contact information is also kept confidential so the recruiter can't pester them if it's not a good fit.

Recruiters often have to sell a candidate on a job opportunity. LinkedIn messages are not very effective for them. They stand to earn a lot more money if they can close more deals. June is the first platform that gives Candidates a reason to get on the phone with a Recruiter when they aren't necessarily looking for a job.

Went completely over my head as well.

This is my first time using Reddit IAMA. When I created the post it had parenthesis in the title section that I thought I was supposed to fill in.

I think it's a mix of finding both the right people and the right idea.

Sometimes, although rarely, a great idea can be enough for a business to succeed despite the people involved. Usually these companies fail shortly after their initial success though.

Businesses get started all the time that succeed with old ideas used by other companies but with better execution because of the people involved. Investors already know to invest in people, not ideas.
