He is Wibisono Satrio or who is usually called Wibii, a 2017 PTIK student who won 1st place after the startup idea he created with his team managed to win the hearts of 3 Judges and the Team from Oorth. The startup idea is “KERJA AMAN” which is a platform for job seekers to find work and check the validity of a job seeker company. Departing from the anxiety of the people who are often deceived by fictitious job vacancies or fictitious companies that they know through pamphlets on the streets and electricity poles, “I feel sorry for the unemployed who find it difficult to get information on lockers that match their abilities and how easy it is to apply for it is not complicated” said Wibi. “This idea also started from some of my friends’ experiences who were deceived by the lockers they got and also from companies, especially MSMEs which can only find workers through their relationships and are very limited in quantity and quality. Therefore, during brainstorming, I brought this idea to my team and mentors and they agree with me and liven up our discussions” he added. What aspects of assessment were judged during the judging, Mas Wibii? “Yes, of course, the first thing that was judged during the judging was the problem that was raised then the solution that we packaged in this startup and then there was the business mode, it must also be clear for its continuation in the future, after that the Readiness Level, namely the readiness of this startup when it was last presented there was a pitchdeck or Startup prototypes are both in design and application, but the most important thing to assess is the Social Impact that our Startup can do for the community in the future.” After this Bootcamp event, there will also be a follow-up by DISNAKERPERIN for next year sent to the Techno Link event to show up startups that won and bring together investors.
