Hubble

Startups & Ecosystem Building

Project Overview

Co-founded and developed the startup Hubble (later rebranded as Bobby) with Sehoon Park, an AI-powered hiring platform focused on improving how students connect with startups. The platform used voice-based AI workflows and intelligent matching systems to evaluate candidates beyond traditional resumes, capturing factors such as communication style, experience, and personal values. The project was later rebranded as "Bobby" and focused on conversational AI for startup hiring.

During early beta testing, the platform attracted more than 300 student sign-ups and onboarded several early-stage startups to help validate demand within the student–startup recruiting space. The venture was later accepted into the IU Innovates startup incubator, where the product evolved through mentorship, rapid iteration, and continued product-market fit exploration.

Along the way, the team participated in and won multiple startup and pitch competitions, including Start Tank and InnoQuest. After extensive user testing and feedback analysis, the decision was made to sunset the product based on strategic product-market fit insights and long-term viability considerations.
