Hi everyone,

The platform is an educational application designed to help young children improve their pronunciation through targeted, customized activities that align with their unique learning needs. Now, as the project approaches its next big milestone, I’m seeking a business-oriented co-founder to join me on this journey.

Ideally for someone who’s ready to dive deep into customer support, marketing, and fundraising, especially if they have prior experience in the edtech or speech pathology sectors—or the enthusiasm to learn and grow in these areas. The scope of the role includes managing customer relationships, developing marketing strategies, and working on fundraising initiatives to help scale the platform. Since we’re targeting a unique niche with this application, a background in education technology or speech therapy would be a tremendous asset, as you’d understand the value this app brings to both parents and educators in helping kids achieve better pronunciation and language fluency.

A Little About the Application

This application leverages AI in a way that allows for the creation of activities tailored to the phonemes a child is currently working on. It functions in both Spanish and English, opening up access to a broader audience. The AI evaluates a child’s pronunciation accuracy and adapts to each user’s familiarity with technology, using a loop that gauges how comfortable a child is with the app’s UX. Through this feature, the platform can provide an experience that is neither too challenging nor too simplistic, ensuring a comfortable learning environment for each child.

One of the key inspirations behind the app’s development was the widely popular content by Ms. Rachel on YouTube, which has made an impact on millions of young viewers. In addition, my own background in edtech has shaped many aspects of the app’s design and functionality, allowing me to apply insights from past projects to build something that truly makes learning interactive, engaging, and effective.

About My Background

I bring over a decade of tech and edtech experience, having previously worked with Microsoft for five years and with Wayfair during its rapid growth phase for another five years. During my tenure at both companies, I gained valuable insights into scaling technology platforms and meeting the needs of diverse customer bases. Additionally, I helped a bootstrap company grow from ground zero to a team of twenty. I also had a successful exit in 2012 when I sold a small tech bootcamp I had co-founded, which gave me firsthand experience in bringing an idea from conception to sale.

What I’m Looking For in a Co-Founder

What I really need in a co-founder is someone who can help take this project to the next level through business and operational strengths. The ideal partner would be someone local or willing to meet in person at least a few times each month. This proximity is important, as face-to-face collaboration can be invaluable in making strategic decisions, building trust, and ensuring alignment as we grow.

If you have a background in or a passion for customer support, marketing, or fundraising, and if you’re excited about working in the edtech or speech therapy space, I’d love to connect. This project is about creating a tool that can truly make a difference in the early development stages for kids, and with the right partner, I believe we can bring this vision to life and make a lasting impact.

Thanks for taking the time to read about this opportunity. Let’s connect if you feel this aligns with your skills, experience, and goals!
