Skilled, experienced,
and completely invisible
to the job market.

Konexter is an AI-powered Skills Passport for Hong Kong's NCS workers and 50+ professionals — people who are qualified and experienced but systematically overlooked because of language barriers and age bias.

The problem

619,000 people.
Qualified. Overlooked.

Hong Kong's ethnic minority residents and 50+ professionals hold real skills and real experience. But language barriers, age signals, and digital exclusion keep them invisible to the job market — not because they lack ability, but because the system was never built for them.

619K+
Ethnic minority residents in Hong Kong, most in elementary roles despite qualifications
72%

1 in 3
Employed workers over 50 face age discrimination in Hong Kong's job market

What we build

Your skills, your story,
your passport.

Konexter makes skilled workers legible to employers, NGOs, and investors — in the language they speak, without the signals that get them filtered out.

🎙️
Skills Passport
Voice and CV-based onboarding in English, Tagalog, Hindi, and more. AI extracts your skills, strips age and ethnic signals, and generates a clean, shareable professional passport.
🤝
Skills Matching
Surface complementary-skill connections. Opt-in introductions that turn a tool into a community of people who can actually help each other.
💡
Idea Engine
Turn lived experience into fundable ideas. AI structures your concept into an investor-ready venture brief — timestamped, attributed, and yours.
🏛️
CollabRooms
Purpose-driven group spaces for co-development. Not a chat room — a co-founder room, with AI moderation and IP governance built in.
🧭
Funding Navigator
AI surfaces the most relevant HK grants, NGO programmes, and funding paths for your specific skills and venture — and pre-fills up to 80% of the application.
🛡️
Trust & Safety
AI Arbiter with two-tier scam detection, consent dashboard, and evidence-based report governance. Every automated action has a human override.

Built for

The people the system
keeps missing.

We start in Hong Kong, with the communities most systematically excluded from the professional world — and we build outward from there.

🇵🇭
Filipino community
~214,000 in HK. Highest digital literacy among NCS groups. Sunday activation via churches and community networks.
🇳🇵🇵🇰🇮🇳
South Asian professionals
Pakistani, Indian, Nepali communities facing the highest professional underemployment despite strong qualifications.
🧑‍💼
50+ professionals
LinkedIn-familiar, decades of experience, systematically filtered out by graduation years and "overqualified" labels.
🏢
NGOs & institutions
Replace manual CV-building with a verified, AI-powered casework tool that your clients and staff actually want to use.

Want to partner,
