This is not a name on a website, it is an active seat
The founding advisory board is not a list of names we point to. Advisors are active contributors. They challenge the decisions that need challenging, bring expertise that takes years to earn, and hold themselves to the same standard as the founding team.
We're building a platform for ten million children by 2035. The board is part of the infrastructure that makes that possible. Every seat is filled for a reason, and every advisor moves a specific part of the mission forward in a way we can see and measure.
If that's the level of involvement you applied for, you're in the right place. If you were hoping for a lighter touch, we'd rather have that conversation now than six months into a seat that doesn't suit either of us.
A message from the Captain!
"We don't want passive experts. We want the people who change what gets built."
Chief of Safety and
Adaptive Training
Guardian Camp
The Every Child a Hero Manifesto.
This is our public promise. Every advisor is expected to know it, believe it, and be able to speak to it without notes.
Beyond Education
We help children master education, health, hygiene, and safety. Not just school grades. Not just one dimension.
Serving All Children
We build for every culture and ability. Our offline-first AI means no child is left behind by data poverty.
The Green Eject
Our technology returns children to the real world the moment the mission is done. The screen locks. The child goes outside.
Physical and Digital Play
We use physical gear and private AI to turn daily routines into verified hero adventures.
Building Community
We support families and schools through the Administrative Shield, making it easy to track a child's success.
Sharing Our Success
We reinvest 50% of profits into the Unlocking Heroes Foundation, staged from 10% to 50% over five years. That's not a target. It's a legal commitment.
Leading the Future
We give children the Evidence of Effort that builds the skills to lead, not just follow.
Children First
(our why)
The first question behind every decision: does this create a better, real-world outcome for a child? If it doesn't, we don't build it.
Elite Performance First
(our how)
The second question behind every decision: does this make us more elite at making heroes? It's how we hold the build to the highest standard, not just good enough.
The standards we hold ourselves to.
These are the standards that govern how everyone here works, advisors included.
They aren't aspirational. They're the daily rhythm.
Alignment before credentials
Before any seat is confirmed, we check alignment, not just a CV. Do you share the non-negotiable belief that every child, whatever their background or ability, deserves the same shot at becoming a hero? If you don't, this isn't the right board.
A reason that's personal
The advisors who stay when it gets hard are the ones for whom this is personal. We want to understand what happened to you, or to someone you know, that makes this mission matter. That's the thing that lasts.
An active rhythm,
honestly reviewed
Advisory involvement runs on a weekly rhythm with specific targets, reviewed monthly. The reviews are honest post-mortems, not progress updates: what worked, what didn't, what we change. Active involvement is the expectation, not the exception.
Clear, concise,
purposeful
We communicate without noise and without performance. A few real commitments per cycle, delivered with precision. If a contribution can't be explained simply, we find a better contribution.
What active involvement looks like in practice.
This isn't a badge for your LinkedIn. Founding advisors show up, contribute, and get measured on it. Here's the rhythm.
MONTHLY
The board meeting
The founding advisory board meets monthly. You show up, report on what you committed to and what you delivered, and bring one useful introduction or opportunity to the team. This is the heartbeat of the role.
QUARTERLY
Bring your expertise to bear
A real contribution in your domain, a written view, a workshop, or a strategic call. And a check on build progress against what you're advising on.
ANNUALLY
Get reviewed, get credited
Your contribution is reviewed against what you signed up to. Deliver, and you're named in the annual impact report and your share options progress. One public endorsement of the mission a year is part of the deal.
What the seat includes
This is a voluntary, unpaid role. Advisor seats are supported by Unapproved Share Options with a one-year cliff and performance-based vesting thereafter.
The two Foundation trustee seats are unpaid charity governance roles and do not carry share options. Every relationship is governed by a formal agreement. Nothing in this confirmation constitutes a binding offer.

What happens next.
There's nothing for you to do right now. Here's how the next few weeks unfold from our side.
Application review, within
3 working days
The founding team reviews your application personally. We're looking for real expertise, genuine mission alignment, and a reason that's personal to you.
A short alignment call,
fifteen minutes
If your application progresses, we'll book a short call. It isn't an interview. It's a conversation to confirm the fit on both sides.
Agreement and onboarding
If we both want to proceed, write up your contribution that will become the framework and KPIs, following that you receive the formal agreement, your founding advisor credentials, and access to the build roadmap.

"The best advisors on any founding board are here because the mission is personal to them, not because the title is useful. If that's you, we'll see you on the other side of the review."
