Arian Abri thought the LinkedIn message was a scam. It changed everything.

Arian Abri's journey from a university student in Leipzig to working at major companies like Spendesk and Uber and founding GENZ4GTM, a tech talent pool for young professionals, is marked by his unique experiences and drive to bridge the gap between university students and startup opportunities. Initially mistaking a LinkedIn message for spam, he accidentally secured a full-time position at Spendesk, realizing only during the final interview that it wasn't an internship. His tenure at Uber further accelerated his career, providing him with significant learning opportunities and increasing his visibility among recruiters. Observing the struggles of his peers to break into the startup ecosystem, Arian leveraged his experiences to create GENZ4GTM, a platform aimed at connecting young talent with commercial roles within startups. Despite the manual, time-consuming nature of his initial efforts, Arian has embraced automation tools like CodeWords to streamline his operations, all while balancing his university studies. The venture emerged not from market analysis but from a personal mission to help friends navigate the job market, using his insights from both sides to guide them toward success.
