TikTok

This is a substantial chunk of its usership and the target audience for BuiltGen.
Karra leverages his knowledge of TikTok and that of Gen Z to maximize his effectiveness as a social media marketer. He has honed this skillset over time and can confidently impart it on others through BuiltGen.
Gen Z
Karra wishes to dispel the notion that Gen Z is lazy. He feels that a stigma exists towards the Gen Z population that they are lazy and afraid of hard work. Through his own hard work and his ability to elicit the hard work of others he demonstrates the falsity of this claim. The claim also reveals the disparity in opinion of Gen Z among other generations.

His first video gained over 50,000 views overnight and sparked Karra’s drive for online content creation.
He knows the value that his passion has brought not just to himself but others as well and wishes to help people in Gen Z derive the same satisfaction which he does.
Karra is also tapping into the want of Gen Zs to not be confined to a 9 to 5 job. He sees a great deal of this sentiment expressed in the online space. Karra sees this as an opportunity to help people find their passions. He Has been able to turn his passion into a career, in part due to the formation of BuiltGen, and wishes to assist others to be able to do the same.
