Technical co-founder wanted for a dementia start-up

We’re looking for a technical co-founder with experience in machine learning, in particular natural language processing (NLP).

Besides technical skills, managerial and leadership experience are a plus, as you will be tasked with hiring and leading the development team.

Rather than an employee, we’re looking for someone who wants to join us on the journey to build a company from the ground up. You will become one of the co-founders and have equal participation in our decision-making process.

However, if you’re unable to commit this much time to the project, but think you could help us along the way, we would love to hear from you too!

We are planning to raise once the MVP has launched. Before then this role will be paid in equity. Subject to eligibility (must be Berlin-based), we can also discuss options of joining an accelerator alongside other members of the team, which provides a living cost subsidy of €2,000/month.

Besides this, we also offer:

- access to a co-working space in the heart of Berlin with as much free barista coffee as the heart desires
- access to a large network of advisors within Berlin’s digital health scene
- participation in a series of workshops organised by the Vision Health Pioneers programme to learn about all aspects of entrepreneurship
- hybrid/remote work with flexible hours

At Alois, we're on a mission to build a second brain for people with mild cognitive impairment and early stages of dementia.

Using a voice interface and accessible design, our product, Alois, is a cross between a personal assistant and a memory bank, allowing users to store and retrieve memories in a way that mimics natural human interaction.

Just like a hearing aid for people with hearing loss, Alois will serve as a mental aid, helping people with memory loss to continue living their life to the fullest and reduce their reliance on others.

Challenges

Building an MVP and raising investment.

Target group

People with mild cognitive impairment (MCI, also known as pre-dementia) and early stages of dementia.
