Bootcamp review platform

Running a platform like this is hard based on my experience. CareerKarma might be close to what you are describing, but it's for-profit and makes commissions, hence has a stake in the content. In general, platforms require extensive maintenance (both operations, content quality, and moderation) and someone has to pay for that, even if it's with their time and not money. And if it's successful, you'll need a lot of people's time to do this. This is why most platforms and large scale systems like CourseReport, SwitchUp, CIRR, Don The Developer, all have a stake in the game so to speak in some fashion to justify the costs of operating them. If my theory here is correct, then the best you can do is understand the biases on such platforms, or raise funding and build a new platform from scratch that you truly intend to turn into a large scale thing.
