About Headstarter
Nearly all software engineering jobs will be impacted by AI during our lifetimes. At the same time, being able to speak, sell and code brilliantly is quickly becoming a must-have for employers.There has never been a better time to disrupt cs education from its core.At Headstarter, we are building the “one-stop shop” ecosystem to boost every aspect of broken, archaic CS programs globally — cataloging top CS projects, leaning/upskilling new technologies, job/internship guarantees, interview preparation, industry mentors, team projects, networking, resume experience, support/debug, structure/environment, accountability — just to name a few.
We are starting with an “accelerator” that spans 4-months and an AI recruiter that is working for over 30 startups hire for 100+ engineering roles.Ultimately, our mission is to give future tech leaders direction, standardization, consistency and transparency. Simply put, we want to give future gen-z founders more cracked gen-z engineers.We’re a lean, aggressive team of founders set on building a new generational incumbent in learning and recruiting. We’ve raised substantial funding from the best investors in our field such as the first software engineer at Applovin who worked there for 13 years (fastest growing public stock this year: 10x’d).
