About Our Campaign

Hello Everyone! We are thrilled and excited that you are viewing our campaign page to raise our first round of funding to develop our career coaching and recruiting mobile app concept, Prestige by The Corporate Pimp!

Before we get into the details, we'd like to share information about us, the team behind it all:

Joshua Caleb Jackson, the visionary professional behind it all, is the author of How to Pimp Corporate America , the founder of The Corporate Pimp, a career counseling agency and most importantly, the co-founder of Prestige by The Corporate Pimp. Joshua graduated from the University of South Florida with his Bachelors in Business Administration and concentrations in Finance and Marketing and earned his Master of Business Administration degree from Keller Graduate School of Management of DeVry University. Coupled with 13+ years of experience in corporate America with a successful career track trajectory, Joshua believes that his idea to bridge the gap between career coaching and recruiting can be solved with Prestige.

Now that you know who we are, we would love to share with you more about our campaign and what it means to us. Our campaign is tailored to raise funds to develop the first phase of app development for our app concept, Prestige by The Corporate Pimp.

Our campaign is important to us because we plan to develop our app to achieve the following:

• Provide confidence for individuals to succeed in corporate America through career advice and tutorials via enhanced video presentations
• Job candidate matching with prospective employers by way of video résumés

With your help, more people will be equipped to take charge of their careers by earning the salaries they deserve, receiving the benefits they desire, and being able to spend more time with their friends and loved ones.
