I Built This Alone. Now I Need a Team.
Omo Quest is the first app that locks a child's device until they complete real learning. I'm a solo founder who built the entire platform from scratch — the app, the AI, the database, the curriculum. Everything. Now I need the right people to help me take it from prototype to product.
Where We Are
I'm going to be straight with you. The app is not in the App Store yet. There are no users. There is no revenue. There is no team. It's just me.
But what I've built alone in this time — as a self-taught developer, as a father of four, working nights and weekends — is something most funded teams haven't come close to. Here's what already exists:
A full mobile app covering K-8 across six core subjects
An AI engine that adapts to each child's learning level in real time
A system-level device lock that enforces learning before screen time
A parent dashboard with real progress tracking and subject mastery
A complete database with security policies, user roles, and COPPA compliance
IP protection filed with the USPTO
This website, a cinematic film, and a full investor data room
The foundation is real. The vision is clear. What's missing is a team that can help me turn this into a product that reaches millions of families.
Who I'm Looking For
Minneapolis or remote. Equity-based until we raise. This is ground floor — you're not joining a company, you're helping build one.
CTO / Technical Co-Founder
Co-FounderTake what I built and make it production-ready. Lead the technical vision. Ship to the App Store and Google Play. Build the engineering team. This is a true co-founder role — you'll own the technical direction of the company.
You've shipped mobile apps at scale. You've led engineering teams. You want to build something that actually matters.
I'm interestedMobile Engineer
Founding EngineerOwn the mobile experience end to end. Animations, offline support, device management integrations, performance. Make it feel like a game, not homework.
You've built mobile apps kids love. You care about craft. You want to be employee #1 at something big.
I'm interestedAI/ML Engineer
Founding EngineerAdvance the adaptive learning engine. Build safety systems that protect kids. Make the AI smarter about how each child learns. Push the boundaries of personalized education.
You've worked on recommendation systems, adaptive algorithms, or EdTech AI. You're excited by the idea of AI that helps kids grow.
I'm interestedWhy This Matters
The Mission is Real
35 million kids in the US spend 7+ hours a day on screens. No app makes them learn before they play. We're building the first one.
No One Else Is Doing This
Parental controls set timers. EdTech apps teach but can't enforce. We're the only platform that connects device access to verified learning.
True Ground Floor
This isn't joining a Series B with 200 employees. This is helping build a company from the beginning. Your fingerprints will be on everything.
If This Resonates, Let's Talk.
Send me an email. Tell me who you are, what you've built, and why Omo Quest interests you. No formal application. Just a conversation.
