Headstarter is an AI‑powered engineering platform that lets developers work across multiple repositories from a single browser workspace. Its AI agent scans the entire codebase, predicts needed changes and can automatically create and merge pull requests, while an interactive canvas turns visual architecture designs into generated code. The platform also offers a Notion‑style view for natural‑language code edits and a chat interface for real‑time assistance, streamlining multi‑repo development workflows.

Problem
Job seekers interested in early‑stage companies often struggle to find relevant startup opportunities, while startups lack an efficient way to identify candidates whose skills and interests align with their needs.
Solution
Headstarter operates an online matching platform that connects qualified candidates with startups that fit their profile. Users create a detailed profile highlighting their experience, technical skills, and preferred domains. The platform’s algorithm evaluates both candidate attributes and startup requirements to generate curated matches. Startups receive a shortlist of vetted applicants, reducing time spent on sourcing and screening. Candidates can explore matched opportunities, apply directly through the portal, and receive feedback, streamlining the recruitment process for both parties.
