The problem

A massive transition gap between college and career.

Graduates are not only struggling to find work — many struggle to communicate their value, demonstrate professional skills, and perform well in the moments that determine whether they get the job.

~3M

New entrants every year

Associate + bachelor’s graduates enter the U.S. labor market annually.

43%

Had an offer before graduation

Only 43% of graduating bachelor’s students had at least one offer before graduation.

0.79

Offers per graduating student

The average number of offers per graduating student underscores a selective market.

Buyer readiness

The institutional buyer already cares about this problem.

The opportunity is not convincing universities that career readiness matters. It is giving them a better way to measure it, train it, and prove improvement at scale.

Career-readiness adoption is high. Measurement is not.

THE MARKET GAP

“A recognized problem with incomplete tooling.”

Universities already invest in career readiness, employers increasingly evaluate demonstrated skills, and career centers need scalable coaching. Intervanta can sit at the center of those forces.

Market opportunity

A focused wedge with meaningful ARR potential.

The initial opportunity is intentionally narrow: U.S. higher education and workforce organizations. Expansion can later move into employers, international universities, bootcamps, and professional training.

Why now
5 forces

AI adoption in career services is surging. Skills-based hiring is rising. Universities need stronger employment outcomes. Career centers need scalable coaching. And professional readiness can increasingly be measured.

The product

Not another mock interview tool. A readiness system.

The defensible product is the improvement loop: assess observable behavior, teach the weakness, retry immediately, and quantify the change.

2

Measure

Video, audio, answer-quality, communication, and professional-presence analysis.
