Build what helps.

Dojo Foundations works on practical human problems—mentorship, public-service readiness, attention, and sustainable progress.

The standard is simple: show what works today, label what is still a hypothesis, measure outcomes, and stop or change direction when the evidence says so.

Why this exists

Information is everywhere. Context is not.

People do not always need another dashboard, PDF, or generic advice page. They often need the right human context, the right structure, and a way to turn uncertainty into the next practical step.

Mentorship

Guidance with structure

Life Dojo turns advice into action: find a mentor, meet, and leave with one concrete outcome — a resume fixed for Canada, a warm introduction, or interview prep.

Civic readiness

Coordinate before evidence disappears

PULSE tests whether teams can identify camera opportunities, preserve time-sensitive evidence, and document decisions faster—without biometric tracking.

Trust

Built with boundaries

Mentor approval, professional boundaries, reporting, safety language, and partner reporting matter from the beginning.

Initiatives

Four initiatives, one foundation.

The foundation is not trying to do everything. It is building focused systems around problems where care, research, and practical execution need to meet.

L
Live app

Life Dojo

A mentorship platform for newcomers, students, and early-career professionals who need local context, same-language support, and practical next steps.

  • Field- and language-based mentor matching
  • Messaging, scheduling, Jitsi sessions

Exercise prototype

PULSE

  • Camera opportunity and scene-quality checks
  • Ground, weather, access, and facility context
  • Separate neighbourhood isolation planning context
  • No identity processing or autonomous search decisions

R
Validation stage

Reclaim

A self-directed experiment for interrupting automatic app opens and converting that moment into a small, chosen action.

  • One target app and one personal goal
  • A deliberate pause with a real choice
  • Replacement actions sized to available time
  • Measured over a 14-day baseline and intervention

K
Early concept

Kata

A concept for overwhelmed working people—a small daily-practice structure that protects sleep and favors steady repetition over heroic bursts.

  • One focus a night, not everything at once
  • Sleep protected as part of the plan
  • Guilt-free rest nights by design
  • Not yet validated or integrated with another product

Learn about Kata

“Some problems are treated lightly because they are hard to measure. That does not make them small.”

Built with care. Backed by research. Designed for real people.

Dojo Foundations is early, but the direction is clear: build systems that people can actually use, test them carefully, and avoid pretending technology alone solves human problems.
