From 380 applicants across 38 countries, ZVÂC by Waiheke AI joins the shortlist of 50 startups building the future of social impact in Europe.

We've been selected for an ElevenLabs Grant. Here's what that means in practice for the people using our products — and why voice changes the dynamic of career coaching.

We stopped adding features and did something harder: we reorganized everything around a single narrative. Know. Unblock. Translate. Grow. Four words. One journey.

We've joined the Bright Data startup program to bring real-time labor market intelligence into ZVÂC. No more generic advice — every career conversation is now calibrated on what's actually happening in the market.

We're launching ZVÂC for Good — free access to ZVÂC for nonprofits and grassroot organizations running programs with up to 50 beneficiaries. Not a trial. Not a free tier. The real thing.

Most graduates can do the work. They just can't articulate it in the language the job market understands. Here's what we're doing about it with Kaduna State University.

University leadership thinks they're adapting to AI. Advisors feel underprepared. Students are already using ChatGPT for everything. Three groups, three completely different realities, same institution.

For six months, we ran WAI inside Orange Digital Center's reskilling programs. We expected to learn about activation rates. We ended up learning more about people.

The gap isn't between using AI and not using AI anymore. It's between using it like an amateur and using it like a professional. And that gap is costing you time, quality, and security risks.

Waiheke announces the Beta launch of WAI, a groundbreaking AI career coaching platform delivering personalized, data-driven career guidance to individuals and organizations.

We became the first Romanian startup to sign the EU AI Pact, joining around 140 companies committing to implement the AI Act's key provisions ahead of the legal deadlines.
