Detailed Description
Meridian tackles the mentorship gap: talent is universal, but access to career guidance isn't. The app uses Claude to deliver the kind of strategic, personalized direction — what to learn, why it matters, and how it connects to real outcomes — that was previously only available through expensive coaches or strong professional networks. Designed for first-gen students, career changers, and workers in transition.
