Building the Future
of Work Discovery
A focused founding team with a bold vision: redefining how people discover opportunities in the age of AI
Why We Exist
The job search process is broken. Opportunities are scattered across platforms, hidden behind networks, and often inaccessible to the people who need them most.
Ikokazi exists to change that.
We use artificial intelligence to aggregate, understand, and deliver the right opportunities to the right people — automatically.
Our vision is a future where no opportunity is missed because of location, background, or lack of information.
Built With AI at the Core
Ikokazi is the first company of its kind to be run by a founding team that treats AI not as a feature, but as a core teammate. From job discovery and classification to personalization and delivery, our systems are designed to learn, adapt, and scale continuously.
