The Problem
"I can't get hired because I have no experience. I can't get experience because no one hires me."

This loop traps thousands of capable people every year. International graduates. Career switchers. Immigrants whose previous work history "doesn't count" here. Junior professionals who've done online courses and built side projects but still can't break in.

Everyone says the same thing: "Just build a portfolio." But a portfolio of what? Tutorial code on GitHub? Made-up case studies? Bootcamp projects every other applicant also has? None of that proves you can actually do the work — and businesses know it.

The market doesn't need more certificates. It needs proof. The loop that Pikavexa is built to break.
The Solution
A new way to gain experience: do real work for real businesses.
01
No fake briefs. No simulations.
You work on actual problems businesses need solved: market research, analytics tasks, product validation, operational improvements, research projects.
02
No employment relationship required.
Businesses don't have to hire you. You don't have to compete for a single role. Everyone gets the chance to do the work and prove themselves.
03
Reviewed by experienced professionals.
Every project is signed off by a tutor whose background reflects the work. That review — not a certificate — is what makes your portfolio different.
04
When the work is good, businesses notice.
Some come back to hire. Businesses can browse your public profile and see exactly what you built and who reviewed it.
How It Works
Three sides. One platform. Real outcomes.

Why It Works
Three things make Pikavexa different.
01 — Work, not coursework
Every project came from a real business.
There are no toy datasets or invented scenarios. You ship deliverables a company asked for. That's what makes it real.
02 — Expert review
Reviewed by experienced professionals.
Every approved deliverable is signed off by a tutor with relevant industry expertise. That layer of professional review is what makes a Pikavexa profile mean something a certificate doesn't.
03 — Discoverable
Your work lives on a public profile.
Businesses can find you, click into the project, and see exactly what you built and who reviewed it. No gatekeepers. No middlemen.
Where You Can Build Experience
Six fields. All shaped around what businesses actually need.

  • ✓Quality control through tutor-led review
  • ✓A first look at the talent who solved your project well
  • ✓A pipeline of discoverable, screened-on-output candidates

What you get
Real deliverables
Work on problems you actually need solved. Not simulations, not practice runs.
Tutor-reviewed quality
Every submission is reviewed by an experienced professional before it reaches you.
Talent discovery
See exactly who solved your project well. Hire when you're ready.
This isn't outsourcing. It isn't recruiting. It's talent discovery through work.
Why Now
The CV is broken. Hiring is broken. We're rebuilding both — through work.
The job market filters people on credentials and connections, not on whether they can do the job. That's bad for talent, and it's bad for businesses who keep hiring the wrong people from the right schools.
"
I watched too many brilliant friends get filtered out of jobs they were perfect for. Pikavexa is what I wish existed when I started.

FAQ
Quick answers.
Is Pikavexa an internship platform?+
No. Internships are formal employment with a single company. Pikavexa is a work experience platform where talent works on real projects from multiple businesses, builds a verified portfolio, and gets discovered through the work itself.
Are the projects real?+
Yes. Every project comes from an actual business with an actual need for the work. We don't run simulations or made-up case studies.
Will I get a job through Pikavexa?+
Pikavexa isn't a job guarantee. It's a way to do real work, build verified evidence of your skills, and become dramatically more hireable. Some businesses hire from cohorts directly. Others find talent through public profiles.
How long is a cohort?+
Cohorts run for around 12 weeks part-time, with structured project deadlines and tutor sessions throughout.
How much does it cost?+
The first 10 waitlist members get free access at launch. After that, places will be priced affordably — full details will go to the waitlist before public pricing.
Who are the tutors?+
Experienced professionals with relevant industry expertise. Every tutor is vetted before they're brought in to guide projects and review work.
Do I need prior experience?+
Each track has a different starting point. Some assume basic foundations, others are built for complete switchers. We'll match you correctly during onboarding.
What does it mean for a project to be "verified"?+
A tutor — an experienced professional with relevant industry expertise — reviews your deliverables and signs off on the quality. Every approved project has been reviewed by a real human, not graded by an algorithm.
Are you only in the UK?+
We're starting in the UK. International expansion is on the roadmap.
