Joshua Chibueze had a chat with TechMoran about their startup, its growth, competitors, challenges and motivation. Presently, the company has three products it is managing. This amount doesn’t come as a problem to the founders as Joshua had revealed below. At some point, i was inclined to think in this same direction. PushCV tackles the problem of unemployment. There might be no need to remind us of how high the unemployment rate is in Nigeria. PiggyBank helps you save money.

Unemployment is huge in Nigeria. However, PushCV focuses more on pre-screened candidates as opposed to all other job platforms and is also known to be an expert with CV rewriting. Which of Sharphire’s startups is most promising? Lol. They are all promising. How hard, or easy, was fund raising for your company? Not too difficult. We believe in providing value first and also that your customers are your first investors. When you first started out, can you recount your most challenging moment?
