First Principles
First Principles
Companies want senior-level skills for entry-level roles. Headstarter created a score from 0-100 called Career Capital. 100 is similar to someone who has a masters from the best engineering university with 2 years of experience. Each week get an update on your career capital score based on mentor evaluation and platform activities.
Work with teams, deadlines and feedback. Team projects are difficult to execute without outside structure and support. Headstarter hired a team of 5 to provide scaffolding for creating and gluing teams each week. All content is only available for 7 days. At the end of each submission, industry mentors roast the code and pitch.
Collect wins and build side-quests. Be given a problem statement. Then learn what tech stacks needed to make that vision a reality with your team in 7 days. Supplement your building with our in-house videos and selected tutorials. Iterate every week. Learning and becoming cracked will happen as a byproduct.

AI tutor was best part of the platform. However I can’t deny the importance of the audio feature as it allows us to hear ourselves and improves our capabilities in explaining stuff vocally.
