Redefining Careers

One Story at a Time

ViaSkill turns real work into real opportunities, helping professionals

—and the businesses that need them—see beyond titles.

The Problem We're Solving

For Professionals:

“Most professionals are better than their resumes. Titles, job descriptions, and outdated systems often fail to reflect what people are truly capable of.”

For Businesses & Investors:

In a world where talent shortages and misaligned hiring cost industries billions, ViaSkill bridges the gap—making work history searchable, verifiable, and instantly aligned to emerging business needs.

Why Now?

A perfect storm of technological and economic shifts is transforming how careers evolve—and how companies find talent:

  • AI adoption is reshaping entire job categories. Goldman Sachs estimates that generative AI could displace 6–7% of the U.S. workforce in the next decade, especially among entry- and mid-level professionals in tech, finance, and administration.

  • Automation risk is rising fast. By 2040, up to 50–60% of jobs could be heavily impacted by AI and automation—even roles previously considered secure.

  • More than 27,000 jobs in the U.S. have already been cut due in part to AI-related restructuring since 2023—with entry-level corporate roles suffering a 15% decline in listings in the past year.

  • At the same time, AI creates demand for new capabilities: AI-exposed industries are seeing twice‑as‑fast wage growth and 3× higher revenue per employee, according to PwC’s 2025 Global AI Jobs Barometer.

  • U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects employment growth in technology, business, and financial roles—yet many of these same jobs are functionally exposed to AI disruption, demanding dynamic skills and adaptability.

The Opportunity is Clear

  • $430 billion is lost globally each year due to poor hiring decisions and overlooked internal talent.

  • 70% of professionals say their resumes fail to reflect their real skills and contributions.

  • Businesses are shifting towards skills-based hiring, but lack the tools to align real work with workforce needs.

  • ViaSkill bridges this gap—turning work into dynamic, verifiable career narratives that evolve with the person.

Message from the Founder

Hi, I’m Grace Cupat, and I founded ViaSkill out of a deep frustration—and a deep hope. For over two decades, I’ve worked in software engineering, product design, and team leadership, mentoring emerging talent and navigating the highs and lows of an industry that moves fast and sometimes overlooks real potential.

I’ve been on both sides of the hiring table. I’ve been underestimated, passed over, and told to “wait my turn”—despite having the skills, the drive, and the impact to prove otherwise. And I’ve watched too many brilliant people around me get lost in outdated systems: resumes that miss the story, interviews that miss the person.

ViaSkill was my response.
Not just to the problem, but to the promise:
That careers should be something you shape—not something that happens to you.

ViaSkill isn’t just a platform—it’s a career partner. One that helps you track your impact, showcase your skills, and discover the direction that aligns with who you really are. It empowers professionals to take control of their growth, and it helps businesses finally see the value that’s been there all along.

Because when you’re not seen, you don’t shrink.
You build something better.

Because when companies fail to see what you’re capable of, you don’t just move on. You do something better!
