Enthuse.me provides a one-page profile creator aimed at the self-employed, small business owners, and individuals building a personal brand. Users pick a username (forming an enthuse.me URL), sign up via LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook or manually, and add an avatar and short bio. Profiles can import career history from LinkedIn, follower stats from Twitter, Klout scores, and showcase media such as blog posts, videos, photos and press. Users can recommend up to five other Enthuse.me profiles as an “A-list” to encourage network growth; the product is minimalist in design and less customizable than some competitors (About.me, Flavors.me, Zerply). Longer-term plans mentioned include adding social networking features and a potential “knowledge marketplace” to let users sell services through the site with Enthuse.me taking a cut. The company has raised around £1 million in funding from backer MLC50 and faces the challenge of achieving significant scale and network effects in a crowded space.
