Straight answers. No fluff.

Dilly helps anyone looking for work, entry-level through senior, see what a real job wants, learn a short skill to close the gap, and apply with proof they did the work.

The live app includes a profile, job feed, daily guidance, and guided skills in private beta. Users do not just watch content: they finish work and walk away with something they can show in an interview.

$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 app, Stripe, job pipeline, honest profile proof, and the daily 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.

Free is a real product: roles, profile, proof, saved jobs, learning steps, a few Job Checks, apply on your own. Premium is $8.99/mo billed on Stripe (no App Store IAP): full Job Checks, more recommendations, tailor materials to one job, an application package ready to send, and a full tracker. A Job Check is Dilly’s plain read of one posting: must-haves vs nice-to-haves, what you already show, and what to learn next. Audited AI cost is about $0.40 per active user/mo and about $0.10 per free user/mo.

Anyone unemployed or actively job hunting, entry-level through senior. B2C at $8.99/mo is live. Later buyers may include company / teams packaging on the same spine. Job-seeker growth is the wedge, not campus-first.

ChatGPT can answer a question. A resume builder can polish a claim. Dilly connects a real job posting to short guided work and proof you can show. You learn to use AI in the field you want, check your claims, and walk away with something usable in an interview.

Live: App Store app, job feed, profile, daily guidance, Stripe billing, and job ingestion.

Private beta: Guided skills. First skill: research competitors with AI. What you walk away with: a short competitor report you can show in an interview.

Planned later: Company / teams packaging and deeper field coverage after job seekers stick and pay.

Today: help unemployed and active job seekers get hired, entry through senior. Later: sell the same proof loop to companies for team upskilling. Other verticals stay on the map until consumer habit holds.

Job-seeker growth proof (content, App Store, community), one go-to-market hire, founder runway, and AI/server cost 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.
