Urban Threads began as a single boutique in a busy downtown street, offering trendy clothes to a loyal local crowd. Their challenge? They had no online presence, no scalable growth plan, and were losing customers to bigger brands that dominated social media and e-commerce. They came to us with one question: “How do we compete with the big guys?”

Turning graduation into opportunity
Shelby Sapp had already been working with Friday Labs on automation, AI, and data systems to scale her coaching business. With her programs producing hundreds of graduates, one challenge kept surfacing:
“My students were thriving inside the program, but when they graduated, finding the right opportunities still felt overwhelming.”
She saw an opportunity to create a dedicated software platform that would connect graduates with job opportunities instantly—something that could both extend the value of her program and solve a persistent pain point for her community.
She came to Friday Labs with the idea: a career-matching platform built around her graduates’ skills, interests, and outcomes.
When Tech Meets Human Ingenuity
Friday Labs was already deeply embedded in Shelby’s operations, so the team understood her data, workflows, and vision. The challenge was to design and launch a platform that felt effortless for both graduates and hiring partners.
Key elements included:
Graduate Profiles: Automated data sync from Shelby’s learning systems into structured candidate profiles.
AI-Driven Matching: Custom recommendation models that connect graduates with relevant roles in real time.
Employer Dashboard: A portal for hiring partners to browse, filter, and connect with graduates directly.
Seamless Experience: Built on Friday Labs’ modern cloud + automation stack for speed, scalability, and trust.
“I came to them with a dream and they made it come true so easily and so effortlessly. I couldn’t be more happy!” – Shelby Sapp
A Valuable Difference
The platform not only solved a key gap for Shelby’s graduates but also elevated her program’s brand:
Graduate Success: Students now move directly from graduation into tailored job opportunities.
Business Differentiation: Shelby’s program stands apart as one of the few with an integrated career pipeline.
Data Leverage: By connecting learning outcomes to job placement, Shelby now has measurable success metrics to attract new students and partners.
“This platform means my graduates don’t just leave with skills—they leave with real opportunities lined up. That’s priceless.” – Shelby Sapp
This project is more than software. It’s a living ecosystem connecting education to opportunity. Just as Friday Labs transformed Shelby’s operations with automation and AI, the new platform extends that transformation into the lives of every graduate.
