G-CIM (Guided Cognitive Intelligence Mapping) is a cognitive-first diagnostic learning platform. We identify each student's unique Learning DNA™ — mapping 14 cognitive learning strengths — and generate AI-powered personalized learning paths, accelerators, and institutional diagnostic tools.
This is not a learning modalities quiz. This is cognitive diagnostic intelligence.
Product Line — Software + Hardware
Learning DNA™ Platform (live): diagnostic assessment, DNA dashboards, personalized pathways, class playbooks, and the Learning DNA™ Arcade.
G-CIM Learning Laptop (in development): a cognitive-first learning laptop integrating the diagnostic platform with an on-board document scanner and proprietary print module — an affordable offline-first hardware ecosystem for underserved markets. Manufacturing-ready prototype targeted at Month 18 post-funding.

Dilution & Equity Framework
The $1.5M raise at an $8M post-money cap results in 18.75% dilution to the founding team. A 10–15% unallocated option pool is carved out before the round closes to keep early hires incentivized: senior individual contributors at 0.3–1.0%, heads of function / early VPs at 1.2–3.0% — standard 4-year vesting with a 1-year cliff.
