COO / Co-Founder
CoPatible is building a more human-centered future for connection. We are seeing a seismic shift in how people connect. AI is rapidly becoming a companion, advisor, and intermediary in everyday life. One-third of U.S. adults have already used an AI chatbot, many interact with AI daily, and younger generations are increasingly open to turning to AI for emotionally sensitive conversations. At the same time, we are facing a deeper social crisis. Nearly half of U.S. adults report experiencing loneliness, and many worry that technology may further distance us from real human relationships. We believe the next generation of technology should strengthen human connection, not replace it. CoPatible is building an AI-native social connection platform that helps people navigate life transitions through curated, real-world experiences. As the AI mental health and human connection space continues to grow, we are creating products that use AI to foster deeper relationships and meaningful in-person connection. We are looking for a COO / Co-Founder to help build this from the ground up. About the role As COO / Co-Founder, you will turn vision into scale.
