🧪 Origin Story
The idea came on a train ride home from my data analytics bootcamp graduation and jaded by state of the job market. Within 24 hours, I began writing the course. Within 5 days:
- The product existed
- The landing page was live
- The curriculum was in place
- The system worked
The Kaya mascot was inspired by a photo of a collie pinned to the wall above my desk — it kept me company during those long build nights, and became the soul of the brand.
Kaya ML was never a side project. It was built like a company - because it is one.
📍 What's Next
- Launch to 5–10 pilot schools
- Build a waitlist funnel
- Secure testimonials + early data
- Explore grant funding (DfE, STEM, NCCE)
- Expand into Level 2/3 content, CPD options, and global markets
🧭 Built With
- Notion + Super (content + site)
- Custom CSS for mobile optimisation
- Chatbot tools + no-code integrations
- Pure creative momentum
💬 Founder Reflection
"I didn’t just build a product. I proved I could merge my teaching brain, technical skills, and creative identity into something real — fast. Kaya ML is proof that when you’re aligned, you don’t need a team or a budget. You just need a mission."
🐾 Built with love, late nights, and one extremely helpful collie dog.
