Our mission
Build the mentor every developer deserves.
Code education is broken. Most developers learn syntax in isolation, not engineering. Mentorship is expensive, scarce, and vanishes the moment you need it most.
We believe every developer deserves a personalized, 1-on-1 AI mentor that lives inside their editor — one that adapts to how they think, catches mistakes as they happen, and teaches at their level.
Our mission is to make world-class engineering mentorship available to every developer, not just the ones who land the right job, the right team, or the right senior to sit next to.
From the founder
I left a YC-backed startup to go all-in on Protege. We're building this to IPO with a small team. If you join now and think long-term, this is a once-in-a-decade chance to grow with a company from zero.
