@Techstars It’s almost like salaries are way too high and depend on debt and leverage.
Provide value = get paid. Gig economy is coming to white collar jobs, get paid for the project.
English

Graduates can’t get hired. Startups can’t find talent. Something has to change.
Drafted (Techstars 2026) is addressing this. Founded by Andrew Kozlovski and Rodrigo Pecchio, the company started as a way to match candidates with companies using referrals, data, and video resumes to streamline hiring.
But soon, Andrew saw a new path: microjobs.
Unlike traditional internships, microjobs are short, paid, project-based roles where students and early-career talent complete specific work over days or weeks, not months.
“There’s four million students finishing university every year. That means there’s sixteen million college educated or in process students that can contribute to this effort.” - Andrew Kozlovski, CEO and Co-Founder
The first line on a resume may no longer be a company name. It might be a set of contributions to systems most people never see, but rely on every day.

@thatguybg Both partners being all-in on a goal actually makes your life easier, not harder.
Real guys know that letting a great woman get away, is going to haunt you as much as that company...and the right partner is an incredible accelerator & thought partner.

“…vocabulary-rich children arrive at school with a hidden cognitive advantage ... They have heard “ridiculous” and “extraordinary” and “investigation” at the dinner table, in bedtime stories, in the overheard conversations of articulate adults. Their minds have been silently sketching the spellings of hundreds of words they have never read..
“Children from language-poor environments arrive without those skeletons…
“It is a gap in prediction. And it compounds: the child who reads more easily reads more, hears more words in the context of text, forms more skeletons, and reads still more easily. The child who struggles reads less, encounters fewer new words, forms fewer skeletons, and falls further behind.”

Carl Hendrick@C_Hendrick
We tend to think of reading as a visual act. But a growing body of research suggests that by the time a child encounters a word in print for the first time, their mind has already been preparing for that encounter. ⤵️

It's not just phonics: Schools have failed to teach reading because they ignore 50+ years of findings in cognitive psychology that reading depends on general knowledge. ED Hirsch has been banging this drum for a long time but Ed Schools shut their ears because the whole idea was unromantic & had a vaguely right-wing aroma. Now he joins with Dan Willingham to make a strong case that kids can't read if they don't have the background knowledge that makes sense of the rarer vocabulary, allusions, and understandings that allow us to read between the lines - which all reading requires. educationnext.org/rediscovering-…
