Trajekt
An AI job-hunting platform for startup roles. It finds the jobs, writes the CEO cold pitch, runs the mock interview, grades you, then coaches the gaps.
Trajekt is a personal project of mine, an AI-powered job-hunting platform built for startup roles. It discovers positions at Haatch portfolio companies and YC startups, writes personalised CEO cold outreach, runs mock interviews, grades the performance, and recommends targeted learning to close the gaps.
I designed and built it end-to-end (product, frontend, backend and the AI layer) in collaboration with designer Ayowande Olubo. It's live in beta today while I harden it for a wider release.

Startup job-hunting is
noisy, manual work.
Landing a role at a great startup is a grind: dig through job boards, guess which companies are worth it, rewrite your pitch for every one, cold-message founders who never reply, then walk into interviews under-prepared. The best opportunities, early Haatch and YC companies, are the hardest to surface at all.
I wanted one command centre that runs the whole loop: surface the right roles, score them against my actual CV, write outreach that sounds like me, rehearse the interview, and tell me exactly what to study next. So I built it.
Signal > volume. Generic boards bury the startup roles worth chasing, so discovery had to be curated to Haatch & YC.
Outreach doesn't scale by hand. Every pitch must be personalised to the company and grounded in the real CV, with no generic spam.
Prep is a black box. Candidates need honest, specific feedback and a concrete study plan, not vague "practice more".
One loop, five AI stages.
Trajekt runs the entire job hunt as a single pipeline. Each stage is its own AI step, each one grounded in your CV and the target company.
Discover
Pulls startup roles from Haatch portfolio & YC companies into one feed.
Score
Grades every role against your CV, a 0–100 fit score so you chase the right ones.
Pitch
Writes a personalised cold pitch to the founder, grounded in your real experience.
Interview
Runs a mock interview for the role, then grades your performance honestly.
Coach
Recommends targeted resources & portfolio projects to close your skill gaps.
The rest of the hunt.
Pipeline
Every opportunity on one board. Drag a card between New, Applied, Interviewing, Offer and Rejected to update its status.
- A kanban board across five stages, each role carrying its live fit score.
- Per-card status control plus a running pipeline-progress tally in the sidebar.
- One source of truth for the whole hunt. Nothing lives in a spreadsheet.
Career Coach
Pick a role and Trajekt generates a targeted plan: the exact skill gaps to close first, then the resources and portfolio projects to close them.
- AI ranks your high-priority gaps for the specific job before anything else.
- Curated learning resources and portfolio projects, each mapped to a gap it closes, with source & time estimate.
- Priority tags (high / medium / low) so you spend effort where it moves the needle.
How it's built.
Aggregates and normalises startup roles from Haatch portfolio & YC sources into one deduped feed, so the signal isn't buried under generic listings.
Parses your CV and scores each role 0–100 for fit, so the top matches surface first and every pitch and interview is grounded in your real experience.
Generates personalised CEO cold pitches from the CV + company context, with a review loop (copy, approve, edit or regenerate with feedback) so nothing sends unchecked.
Runs a role-specific mock interview, then grades the performance and turns weak spots into a concrete study plan, closing the loop from prep to feedback.
A focused command-centre UI designed with Ayowande Olubo: dark, keyboard-driven (⌘K), with a persistent sidebar tying discovery, outreach, pipeline and prep into one flow.
Trajekt is the product I wished existed while job-hunting, so I built it, and it's in beta now.
The full loop (discovery, CV fit-scoring, CEO outreach, mock interviews, grading and coaching) running in beta today.
Shipping a real, end-to-end AI product (design with Ayowande), and making every AI step feel grounded and reviewable, not magic.
Hardening for a wider release, a proper domain, and opening beta access to more job seekers.
