Seek Co-Founder to Launch AI Vocational Guidance

Stealth EdTech / The Human Startup

Hey, I'm Juan David — LatAm founder, ex-eCommerce operator, and now on a mission to reinvent how students discover who they are and what they’re meant to do.

We’re in stealth, but for now we’re calling it The Human Startup — because this isn’t about building for machines. We’re building to unlock human potential, enhanced by AI.

The Vision

We’re building an AI-powered Vocational Coach — a personalized system that helps high school and college students figure out their best-fit careers by combining:

Personality and strengths assessments
Real-time data on future-of-work opportunities
AI-generated insights, role models, and pathways
Think of it as a digital mentor that adapts to each student’s story, not a static guidance counselor or generic quiz.

Who I’m Looking For (Co-Founder / COO/CTO Hybrid)

I'm strong in strategy, business development, fundraising, product, storytelling, and systems thinking across people, education, and tech.

I'm looking for a co-founder who is not just capable of building the operational and product engine — but who wants to shape this venture at a fundamental level and work to build an amazing team.

You might be a COO, Program Builder, or Product Ops lead. Either way, you:

Thrive in structure, systems, and bringing ideas to life
Have scaled programs or products (EdTech, HRTech, or impact work is a plus)
Love ops, logistics, and automations (Zapier, Notion, Airtable, APIs)
Can design and lead execution, not just manage tasks
Bonus: You know your way around AI tools or product prototyping

We’ll be building this together.

Current Stage

MVP in progress
Pilot in motion with several high schools and colleges
Early conversations with education networks and youth organizations
Looking to validate product-market fit and model in the next 6 months

You’ll Thrive Here If You:

Are obsessed with unlocking human potential and transformation at scale
Believe that career orientation is broken — and fixable
Are excited to co-build something meaningful, not just ride along
Want equity, ownership, and social impact, not just a salary

Let’s talk if you’re excited by the idea of co-creating a tech-driven, heart-led solution to one of the biggest problems in education and human development.

    Hey JD, this is a brilliant and much-needed vision. Love how you're blending AI with purpose-driven education.

    I’m with PrimaFelicitas, a tech development and consulting firm. We’ve partnered with several AI and EdTech ventures to bring their MVPs to life and support GTM — including backend systems, intelligent assessments, and scalable, secure infrastructure. While we’re not looking for equity-based roles, we’re always excited to collaborate with founders building for impact, especially in education and youth enablement.

    If you’re open to a conversation, happy to connect and explore how we might support your roadmap.

    All the best — rooting for your mission!
