💡 Inspiration

"We are human. We live for others. But we're trapped by paper."

📄 The Paper Prison

Every human being has unique superpowers—deep empathy, creative problem-solving, the ability to inspire others, technical brilliance, or the gift of bringing people together. But our current world reduces us to static paper credentials: degrees, job titles, years of experience, keywords on a resume.

Paper credentials tell you nothing about human value or potential.

They don't capture:

  • The software engineer who stays up nights thinking about clean water for her village
  • The accountant whose real superpower is making people feel heard and valued
  • The teacher who could revolutionize healthcare with her gift for explaining complex ideas
  • The quiet developer who has the vision to solve climate change, if only the right team found him

We are so much more than our papers suggest.

🧠 The Human Limitation Paradox

As humans, we have beautiful limitations that both constrain and define us:

We can only listen to one person at a time. In a meeting, a conference call, a conversation—we're bound by the physics of human attention. The most brilliant insights often go unheard because they came from the quiet voice in the back.

Dunbar's Number constrains our connections. We can maintain meaningful relationships with only ~5 intimate bonds and ~150 stable social connections. This means most of us will never meet the people we're meant to work with, the teammates who would unlock our superpowers.

But what if technology could break these barriers?

🌍 We Live for Others

The deepest human truth is this: we don't work for ourselves alone. We work for our families, our communities, our children's future, the strangers we'll never meet but whose lives we want to improve.

  • The mother coding late at night dreams of building something that helps other mothers
  • The engineer designing systems thinks about the communities that will benefit
  • The teacher creating curricula imagines the students whose lives will change

We are wired to serve others. But the system keeps us apart.

🏉 The Springbok Revelation: Chemistry Over Credentials

Our breakthrough moment came from watching something extraordinary: the South African Springboks winning back-to-back Rugby World Cup victories (2019, 2023) both away from home.

Coach Rassie Erasmus didn't pick the players with the most impressive individual statistics or the flashiest credentials. Instead, he chose players who played beautifully together—who shared the same values, trusted each other completely, and elevated the entire team's performance.

The result? Two consecutive world championships against all odds, in foreign countries, because the team was built on chemistry, not credentials.

That's when it hit us: The right passionate players, working together toward a shared purpose, can achieve the impossible.

This wasn't about finding the "best" individual talent. It was about finding people who:

  • Shared the same deep values and commitment
  • Complemented each other's strengths and covered weaknesses
  • Were willing to sacrifice individual glory for team success
  • Had the passion and heart to push through when things got tough

If this principle could win World Cups, imagine what it could do for solving the world's greatest challenges.

💔 The Personal Pain That Started Everything

We built Find Your Team because we lived this problem.

Picture this: You have a vision to save lives through technology. We're building Ubuntu Patient Care - a free, open-source medical system (RIS/PACS/EMR) designed to bring world-class healthcare to underserved communities, especially here in South Africa. When multi-billion dollar companies like Philips tell doctors "Sorry, your ultrasound machine is end of life, buy a new one," we said "Enough!"

But here's our struggle: We need passionate teammates—not just skilled developers, but people who wake up thinking about healthcare inequality, who share our fire for justice and impact.

We post everywhere. We get resumes. Lots of them. But the resumes don't tell us:

  • Who stays up at night thinking about the loved ones who can't access healthcare?
  • Who would code for free because they believe every life is priceless?
  • Who has the heart to push through when building life-saving systems gets tough?
  • Who shares our values about serving people over profit?

We were struggling to find our tribe for Ubuntu Patient Care (github.com/Jobeer1/Ubuntu-Patient-Care), and we realized millions of others face the same struggle. (https://attempted-sonic-assumption-kim.trycloudflare.com)

If you're reading this and your heart is racing because you want to help save lives through code - we need you. Ubuntu Patient Care is our rebellion against healthcare inequality, and we're looking for passionate developers who believe that no one's loved ones should suffer because they can't afford corporate medical systems.

Right now, across the world:

  • Brilliant minds are solving the wrong problems because paper credentials put them in the wrong boxes
  • World-changing teams never form because the right people can't find each other beyond their Dunbar 150
  • Passionate people with shared missions remain isolated, working alone on problems that need collective genius
  • Communities lose their brightest to corporate systems that value credentials over character

We needed Find Your Team to exist, so we built it. For us, for you, for everyone trying to change the world.

🚀 Breaking the Barriers with AI

We built Find Your Team because we realized AI could shatter the limitations that keep us apart:

Instead of listening to one person at a time, AI can have deep, empathetic conversations with millions simultaneously, discovering each person's unique purpose and superpowers.

Instead of being limited by Dunbar's 150, AI can analyze compatibility across millions of people, finding the perfect teammates you'd never meet otherwise.

Instead of reducing humans to paper credentials, AI can understand the full depth of human potential—values, motivations, dreams, and the problems you'd solve if you could.

🌟 The Kiro IDE Breakthrough

This vision seemed impossible until Kiro IDE with Claude 4.5 Sonnet became our partner. It wasn't just a coding tool—it was like having a brilliant teammate who understood not just our code, but our mission to unleash human potential. What would have taken months happened in weeks, because AI understood that we weren't just building software—we were building hope.

✨ Our North Star

Every human deserves to use their superpowers for the people they love.

We built Find Your Team to create a world where:

  • Your unique gifts are discovered and valued, not hidden behind paper credentials
  • You find teammates who share your purpose and amplify your impact
  • Technology breaks the barriers that keep brilliant people apart
  • Communities keep their brightest minds working on problems that matter
  • No human potential is ever wasted

This isn't about better hiring. This is about unleashing the collective genius of humanity to solve the problems that matter most—for all of us, for me and you, for everyone we love.
