Founding Designer Track

Founding Designer, Gabb Global

Equity now, salary when our round closes. That's the whole deal and it's at the top for a reason.

The problem

A 12 year old in Amman says a French sentence out loud. In the four seconds that follow, our engine reads five things: how accurate the sounds were, how long she waited before she started, how fast she spoke, how loud, and whether she got it right. All of it measured against her own voice in her own first language, not against how a native speaker sounds. Then it decides whether the next thing gets harder or easier.

That decision is the entire company. It is based on real psycholinguistics, it works, and right now the student sees almost none of it. She just gets a different question and no idea why.

Designing that moment is the job. Making an invisible adaptive system legible to a child, in a way that builds trust instead of anxiety, without turning the screen into a dashboard. Nobody in this category has solved it. Duolingo doesn't try. Immerse doesn't try.
