13 Reasons Why You Should Subscribe to Network Capital

In his Harvard Business Review article, Network Capital Founder and CEO Utkarsh Amitabh shared how students and young professionals can build their category of one. Doing so will not only help them achieve their short term career objectives such as getting into top MBAs and Masters programs or getting aspirational jobs but also create context for long-term personal and professional fulfillment. Work and life are not two different, disaggregated things. Work is part of life and we need to create work-life harmony doing something we love and making an impact on the wider world.

We set up Network Capital in order to democratize career intelligence and make personalized mentoring accessible to every person on the planet. Our growth to becoming one of the world’s largest career intelligence communities with 100,000+ verified millennials has entirely been organic. We do not spend anything on marketing or sales, and we have not raised any external capital.

The love of our subscribers has taken us to Harvard Business Review, World Economic Forum in Davos, TED.com etc and even propelled us to become the official mentoring partner of Government of India’s Atal Innovation Mission (NITI Aayog)

We hope our journey resonates with you and through this newsletter, we hope to explain what you get when you subscribe to Network Capital. Our philosophy is that customer’s faith in the form of subscriptions is far more powerful than external money so we want to keep relying on your support to inch closer towards our mission of democratizing career intelligence.
