The Opportunity

We’re partnering with an early-stage AI startup building a new category of mental health support.

Their mission is simple but ambitious: put a therapist in everyone’s pocket.

The team recently completed the largest clinical trial ever run on an AI therapist, demonstrating outcomes comparable to human therapy and stronger results than existing digital mental health tools. Built by experienced AI researchers and guided by leading clinical advisors, the company sits at the intersection of cutting-edge AI research and real-world healthcare impact.

After completing Y Combinator, the team is now entering the next phase: turning a powerful research prototype into a product people use every day.

The Mission

Mental health support is often unavailable when people need it most.

This company is building a voice-first AI therapist designed to support people in real time - including moments outside traditional therapy hours. The platform combines conversational AI, clinical research, and human-in-the-loop safety systems to create a new kind of mental health experience.

But the interface for this category doesn’t exist yet. This role is about helping invent what interacting with an AI therapist should feel like - designing an experience people trust, build relationships with, and return to regularly.

The Role

• Design the core mobile experience for a voice-first AI product
• Explore new voice and conversational interface patterns
• Turn a research prototype into a high-engagement consumer product
• Own design across product, brand, and early design systems
• Work closely with founders, AI researchers, and clinicians
• Help define how trust and safety show up in the product experience

What They’re Looking For

• Experience designing consumer-facing products, mobile-first
• Strong 0→1 product design experience or early-stage startup exposure
• Ability to take ownership and operate independently
• Excellent product taste and visual craft
• Interest in designing new interaction models around AI and conversation
• Curiosity about mental health, behavioral design, or human–AI interaction

If you’re excited about designing products that combine AI, psychology, and human trust, this is a rare opportunity to shape an entirely new kind of experience.

Do you want to become a surrogate? We are now offering a sign on bonus to all qualified and matched surrogates that sign contracts. The first step is to fill out our surrogate application. A fertility specialist will contact you to continue the process. For intended parents interested in surrogacy to start or grow their families please contact us today. The surrogacy process is complex, but we will be with you every step of the way. Call today to get started.

Women who may have the ability to produce eggs but are unable to use their uterus or do not have a uterus, may consider a surrogate. A donated egg may also be used with the surrogate in the event a woman cannot produce her own eggs or her uterus is not intact or insufficient to carry a pregnancy. In either case, the husband's sperm, if viable, may be used.

Using an egg donor unrelated to the surrogate carrier eliminates any biological tie. The egg of the surrogate is never used as part of the assisted reproduction process, so that a surrogate is never in the position of delivering her own biological child.

The basic requirements of a woman to serve as a surrogate are:

• Emotionally stable
• Responsible
• In good physical health
• Non-smoker
• Has had at least one successful pregnancy
• Is capable of carrying a child to full term

A woman is not required to fall within a particular age range to serve as a surrogate, but most intended parents prefer a surrogate under the age of 40. For more information on surrogacy please see the documents on the left side of this page.

In Texas, there is a judicial process for validating the Gestational Contract (the contract between the intended parents and the surrogate). Included within the various requirements for having a Gestational Contract validated by a Texas court is that the intended parents must be married and the surrogate must have previously carried a child to term. Additionally, there are residency requirements that apply to either the surrogate or the intended parents, but not both.

Compensation for a surrogate services generally starts in the range of $35,000 - $40,000, for base compensation with over all fees up to 70k, in many cases. The amount of compensation is dependent upon a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, whether the surrogate carries twins, what procedures a surrogate is required to undergo and whether the delivery is vaginally or by cesarean section.
