Straight answers. No fluff.

Dilly is an AI-native career execution platform for verified college students. It uses real job requirements to show students what employers need, guides them through field-specific AI skills, and helps them create proof of ability they can use when they apply.

The current product includes a living student profile, job intelligence, Forecast, Scout, Craft, and a new Skill Engine in private beta. Students do not merely complete content: they demonstrate skills through research, AI use, verification, judgment, and a final artifact.

$250K seed on a post-money SAFE. Stretch to $500K if oversubscribed. The check buys GTM proof, one hire, and 12–15 months of runway. The product is already live on the App Store.

Most seed rounds fund building the product. This one funds proving it. App Store binary, Stripe, job pipeline, Truth Ledger, and the daily Moves loop already exist. Capital efficiency is the point.

We are explicitly pre-revenue. Stripe billing is live at $8.99/mo. Demand-side numbers (downloads, paid conversion, week-4 retention) are what this round funds. We do not invent them.

Paid plan is $8.99/mo billed direct via Stripe (no App Store IAP). Audited LLM COGS are about $0.40 per active user/mo and about $0.10 per free user/mo.

Verified US college students (.edu-gated at signup) through the first job after graduation. B2C at $8.99/mo is live. Expansion buyers: K-12 and college seat licenses, parent Family plans, and planned Dilly for Teams. Education / school partnerships are the main GTM wedge.

ChatGPT can answer a question. A resume builder can polish a claim. Dilly connects real job demand to structured work and proof. It teaches students how to use AI in the field they want to enter, requires them to verify and apply judgment, and turns the finished work into evidence.

Live: App Store app, job feed, Profile, Forecast, Scout, Craft, Truth Ledger, Stripe, and job ingestion.

Private beta / launching: Field-specific Skill Engine. First skill: AI-Assisted Competitive Research. Proof artifact: Competitive Research Brief.

Planned: School seat licenses, Family / Household plans, Dilly for Teams, employer pilots, and deeper field expansion.

Education is the mission: get into schools and teach the next generation how to stay ahead of AI safely. Career is the live proof. Admissions is the high-school path onto the same spine. Medical, International, Recruiter, and Agent stay planned until education retains.

GTM proof (campus + .edu referral, path to first 25 partner schools and 10K actives), one GTM / partnerships hire, founder runway, and infra / LLM for that user base. Not a rebuild.

1) First 10K active users. 2) Week-4 retention proof. 3) First recurring revenue on the $8.99 tier. The next round prices retention. This one is priced to get there lean.
