Building the AI-Native Education Company
49 products across 3 tiers. 305+ learning modules. Pre-revenue. Demos live, full platform launching mid-2026. We're looking for the right partners to scale.
The Opportunity
The global edtech market is projected to reach $400B by 2028 (HolonIQ). Within it, three underserved segments are converging:
K-12 Financial Literacy ($8B+) — 35 states now mandate financial literacy education but fewer than 5% of schools (NEFE 2024 estimate) have curriculum that meets the standard. CoinQuest fills this gap with 177 adaptive modules that comply with COPPA and FERPA from day one.
Retail Investing Education ($3.2B) — A majority of Gen Z and Millennials invest through apps (Schwab 2024) but have no structured education. MarketSapien provides 88 progressive modules with real market data — not generic financial advice, but structured pedagogy mapped to behavioral finance research.
Adult Life Skills ($2.1B) — There is no Duolingo for adulting. Adulting Academy covers 40 modules across taxes, insurance, budgeting, cooking, credit, and more. The demographic is 18-45 adults who missed practical education.
What We've Built
| Product | Market | Modules | AI Guides | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CoinQuest | K-12 (Ages 5-18) | 177 | 6 grade-locked | Demo available — full launch mid-2026 |
| MarketSapien | Investing (Ages 16+) | 88 | 7 mentors | Demo available — full launch mid-2026 |
| Adulting Academy | Life Skills (Ages 18-45) | 57 | 1 adaptive coach | Demo available — full launch mid-2026 |
All 49 products have functional demos available today. Every demo link goes directly to a functional preview — no signup required, no email gate, no paywall. Full platforms launching mid-2026. We follow a product-led growth model where the product sells itself.
The Moat
Every edtech company claims "AI-powered." Here's what actually differentiates us:
Curriculum Depth
305+ modules across 49 products is 18-24 months of content development that competitors would need to replicate. Each module is pedagogically structured — not GPT-generated content dumps. Teach-before-quiz patterns, adaptive difficulty, retrieval practice built into every lesson.
Compliance-First Architecture
COPPA and FERPA compliance is baked into the architecture, not bolted on. Zero PII collection. Local-first data storage. No third-party tracking. This eliminates the #1 sales objection in K-12: "How do you handle student data?" Our answer: we don't collect it.
AI Personalization Flywheel
13 AI guides aren't chatbots — they're grade-locked pedagogical agents calibrated to specific developmental levels. Copper (K-2) uses different vocabulary, pacing, and reward structures than Morgan (11-12). This specialization creates a data flywheel: more usage = better calibration = better outcomes = more usage.
Multi-Market Platform
CoinQuest opens the B2B district channel. MarketSapien captures retail investors. Adulting Academy targets the "adulting" demographic. Same tech stack, same AI engine, three distinct acquisition channels. If one market contracts, the others provide stability.

Where We Are
Product Development
49 products live with 305+ modules designed, 13 AI guides, full COPPA/FERPA compliance architecture. All demos functional and accessible.
IP Protection — 12 Patents Filed, 202 Claims
12 provisional patent applications filed with 202 total claims across AI orchestration, adaptive learning engines, behavioral finance systems, autonomous agent governance, and ambient energy harvesting. Conversion deadline: March 2027. Two trademarks filed: MARKETSAPIEN (Serial #99655146) and COINQUEST (Serial #99667974). These patents create a defensive moat across the core technology stack — not just the products, but the methods behind personalized AI education.
Waitlist & District Pilots
Waitlist open across all products. CoinQuest 30-day free demo pilots available for K-12 school districts. Building demo engagement metrics and waitlist demand signals ahead of mid-2026 full platform launch.
First Revenue
Convert beta users to paid. Close first district contract. Target: $10K MRR within 6 months of paid launch.
Scale
Mobile app submissions (all 3 apps). Expand district pipeline. Marketing spend against proven conversion funnel.
The Founder
Jamal Reaves — Solo technical founder with 16 years of institutional experience in business operations, finance, and legal contracts across the public and private sector, including defense contracting. Built all 3 education platforms, the AI agent infrastructure (BLOOM), 12 patent applications (202 claims), and the company website. California. Currently operating lean with near-zero burn.
The advantage of a solo founder at this stage: zero coordination overhead, fast iteration, and total alignment between vision and execution. Every dollar of investment goes directly to growth — there's no bloated team to support.
What We're Looking For
We're not raising right now. We're building traction first. But we're open to conversations with:
Strategic investors with edtech portfolio companies or K-12 district relationships. Angel investors who understand that pre-revenue with functional demos, 12 patents, and a growing waitlist is a fundamentally different risk profile than pre-revenue with a pitch deck. Advisors with school district sales experience or consumer edtech growth expertise.
When we do raise, the use of funds is clear: 50% distribution (district sales team, marketing), 30% product (mobile apps, additional modules), 20% operations (infrastructure, compliance certifications).
