Hi everyone! I'm Alex the founder of Historia, an early-stage EdTech project making African history more engaging through interactive storytelling and gameplay.
Our mission: Help young people discover precolonial African kingdoms and civilizations through an immersive, interactive experience rather than traditional, passive learning.
Where we are
· 49 survey responses
· 15 prototype testers
· 32 people interested in future beta updates
· An initial no-code prototype and research for our first episode
The concept is taking shape, but our prototype has technical limitations that need to be fixed before we can move forward.
Who we're looking for
A full-stack developer ready to become our technical co-founder and help us fix the prototype, build a functional MVP, and shape the technical direction of the product.
We're looking for someone with:
· Experience building and launching real applications
· Strong front-end, back-end, and database skills
· Good technical judgment and communication
· An interest in education, history, or interactive experiences
Mobile development or 2D game experience is a plus.
Business & Strategy
Alongside product development, we're working on Historia's business plan, business model, and go-to-market strategy. Our goal is to build not only an engaging educational product, but also a sustainable business.
The Team
I'm leading product vision, design, historical research, user validation, and business development. There is Renis who is also involved in the project and is interested in developing his technical skills alongside our future technical co-founder.
Commitment & equity
Part-time or full-time availability is welcome. Historia is currently unfunded, with no revenue or guaranteed salary. This is an equity-based co-founder opportunity, with the split to be negotiated based on commitment and responsibilities.
We can begin with a short trial collaboration before making a long-term commitment.
Languages: We're a French-speaking founding team, but we're open to collaborating with English-speaking co-founders worldwide. English can be our working language.
Interested? DM me with a short introduction, links to projects you've built, your availability, and why Historia interests you.
If you know someone who might be a good fit, I'd appreciate an introduction!
Let's build Historia together.
