A note from Stephany and Kris
We are two migrants who built our careers in tech in a second language, in a country that was not ours. We know what it is to be filtered out before a person has read a word.
A CV that does not fit the template. A career break that reads as a gap. A background that a keyword filter does not recognise. When AI arrived in hiring, we watched it learn exactly those shortcuts and apply them at scale, with a confidence score and no explanation.
So before we wrote a line of product, we built the people side. Two years teaching women AI: 1,200+ members in 50+ countries, 500+ women trained in AI literacy in the last ten months, roughly 40,000 people reached through talks. Companies started asking us for the people we trained.
Lyra AI is what we built when the answer had to be more than an introduction. It is personal for us. It is also the right business: when anyone can generate a CV and copy an algorithm, the scarce things are verified people and trust. We have spent two years earning both.
