We're selecting 50 college students across the US to lead Forkaia® on their campuses as our founding cohort. Free Pro membership, direct founder access, lifetime credential, and the network that compounds for the rest of your career — for ~5 hours a week.
This isn't a paid gig. It's something rarer — a founding seat in the company building the future of higher ed. You don't get a paycheck. You get the platform, the network, the credential, and the founder's access. By Year 3 you'll be glad we chose this model.
Full Pro membership covered for the entire time you're enrolled in college — every term, every summer. $588/yr × 4 years. Real platform access, claim tasks, build your portfolio, earn the Forkaia® Score, ship verified work.
Private rep-only Slack with Ali Sina. Bi-weekly office hours with the founder. Warm introductions to Forkaia®'s 700+ partner employer network when you're job-hunting — including Stealth portfolio companies.
"Founding Campus Rep · Forkaia® · 2026–27" verified credential on your LinkedIn — permanent. Personalized recommendation letter signed by Ali Sina at the end of your term. Strongest credential you'll graduate with.
In-person founding cohort summit (travel + lodging covered). Quarterly virtual summits with all 50 reps. Co-branded swag pack (hoodie, cap, water bottle, stickers). Priority invites to Forkaia® + Stealth founder events, panels, and dinners.
Why no cash?
Cash-paid ambassadors leave when the next gig pays more. Founding members stay because they're part of the thing being built. Three years from now, the people in this cohort will have a Forkaia® credential, the founder's number in their phone, and access to a network worth orders of magnitude more than any monthly stipend would have been. We're optimizing for that.
5 hours a week. Six concrete things. Nothing performative.
You join Forkaia® yourself (we cover your fee). You claim and complete tasks. Your story is your pitch.
DM 5–10 friends a week using our scripted pitches. Share your referral link. Casual, no spam.
Get 5-minute slots at business society / pre-professional / Greek life meetings. We give you the deck.
One IG post + one TikTok per week tagged with your referral link. We write the scripts. You make them yours.
15 minutes every Tuesday at 4pm PT. Reps-only Zoom. Wins, blockers, founder Q&A.
We give you a dashboard. Update it weekly. Top performers get featured in our IG + win quarterly bonuses.
Five criteria. Hit all five and you're in serious consideration.
Enrolled at a U.S. college / university. Any year (Freshman through Grad). Any major. Full-time or part-time.
You actually evangelize things you love. If you've never recommended a product or app to a friend in your life, this isn't your gig.
5 hours a week, every week. Predictably. Not 0 hours one week and 20 hours the next. Consistency is the whole game.
Active social presence. Instagram is required. TikTok is a strong plus. LinkedIn helps. We don't need huge followings — just real ones.
Push-back energy. If we ask you what's broken about Forkaia® and you say "nothing," you're not the rep we need.
Takes 4 minutes. If you're shortlisted, you'll hear from us within 5 business days for a 15-minute video interview.
Correct. This is intentional. Cash-paid ambassadors leave when the next gig pays more. Founding members stay because they're part of building the company. The package — free Pro membership for 4 years ($2,352+ value), direct founder access, the 700+ employer network, the lifetime credential, the founding cohort summit — is worth materially more than any monthly stipend, and it compounds. If you're optimizing for cash this term, this isn't the right role for you.
Day 1: you're auto-upgraded to Forkaia® Pro at no cost. Full platform access — claim tasks, build your portfolio, earn the Forkaia® Score, ship verified work. The membership renews automatically each year you remain enrolled in college and active as a rep. No credit card required, no surprise bill.
If you miss 2 Tuesday calls in a row without notice, or have zero activity for 30+ days, your status flips to Inactive and your founder-channel access pauses. Pick back up by attending a call — no drama, no termination. If you go fully dormant for an entire term, we'll move your spot to the next-cohort waitlist (Pro membership remains active through the academic year).
No minimum commitment. You can leave whenever — just give us a week's notice so we can update our records. We can also terminate at any time, but in practice we work hard to keep good reps.
No. Real beats big. A rep with 400 real friends who'll actually look at their content outperforms a rep with 40,000 random followers. We weight authenticity over reach.
Yes — most of our reps do. 5 hours a week fits around basically anything. Just be honest about your bandwidth in the application.
Yes. We cover your $588 annual membership as part of the program. You'll go through the full member experience so you can speak from real life when pitching.
Apply anyway. Our target list is where we want concentration, not the only places we'll hire. If you make a strong case for your school, we'll consider expanding.
