C Combination Innovation
Two separate worlds finally connect — and the intersection is a product
One-Liner
a mobile AI companion designed for NEET youth that starts with zero-pressure companionship and progressively introduces micro-engagement, skills, and eventually employment connections.
Kill Reason
The NEET population is, by definition, financially disengaged — they cannot pay for the service themselves, and their families are often equally resource-constrained. The only viable revenue path is government and NGO contracts, which require multi-year procurement cycles, clinical validation studies, and policy procurement experience that no startup can navigate to early revenue. This is a research grant project, not a business.
