DONA-certified doula trainer building Duolingo-style parenting app

The Idea
ParentCamp is a gamified micro-learning app for first-time parents. Think Duolingo for postpartum care and baby's first year. 3-5 minute lessons built on AAP guidelines and DONA standards, designed to be completed before baby arrives so parents feel confident when it matters.

Who It's For
First-time parents who want practical, engaging preparation without long workshops or expensive courses.

What's Built
Full curriculum outline, detailed interactive lesson scripts for Module 1, and a business model with season-pass pricing. Real postpartum clients lined up as first test users.

Early Traction

Their Background
DONA-certified postpartum doula trainer who became certified within one year of immigrating to the US. Also holds an AMI early childhood education orientation. Has been working directly with postpartum clients, giving her the curriculum knowledge and user access to validate the content.

What They Need
A technical co-founder with web/mobile development experience, ideally with interest in EdTech or consumer apps. Mandarin-speaking is a must; the founder is fluent in Mandarin and English and is targeting bilingual and immigrant parent communities.

Founder building AI-mentored anime art education app

The Idea
A mobile app that uses AI to teach users how to draw in anime and stylized styles, starting with their own selfie. Instead of generating art for you, it acts as a step-by-step coach: breaking down a photo into foundational anatomy guides (circles and lines) and walking users through recreating it themselves in a gamified curriculum.

Who It's For
People who want to learn to draw, particularly those drawn to anime and digital art culture. Targets the gap between "AI does it for you" and actually developing a creative skill.

What's Built
No-code prototype built in Base44 covering the core user journey: gamified mastery levels, a touch-responsive drawing studio, and the selfie-to-skeleton learning flow. About 70% functional as a demo.

Early Traction

Their Background
Hospitality management background. Self-taught in no-code and rapid prototyping. No prior tech or art industry experience.

What They Need
A technical co-founder to take the prototype from no-code to a real mobile app.
