We’re hacking tech, culture, and consciousness to build new practices for reflection & collectivity.
Five years after launching, someone, somewhere downloads Co–Star every 5 seconds. Big Sean has rapped about us, Ariana Grande & Kevin Durant post screenshots to their IGs, and we’ve been App of the Day twice. Merging 4,000 years of astrological tradition with NASA data interpreted by humans and assembled by machines, Co–Star decodes sky and earth to create a new model for relating to ourselves and each other.
We’re merging the resonance of the humanities with the precision of technology. Every day, we generate millions of hyper-personalized horoscopes using rules-based natural language generation that combines state-of-the-art AI models like GPT with the insights of staff poets. Inspired by poetry, psychoanalysis, and astrology, Co–Star is the first synthetic text to be called wildly beautiful, brutally honest, or comparable to therapy.
It’s still early days. We’re building out the social side of the app with features like your top friends for the day, asynchronized messaging, and groups, developed in tandem with practicing group therapists. We've raised $21,000,000 from the people behind companies like Twitter, Discord, and Snap to build thoughtful new features, increase reliability as we scale, and develop new models for humans & their relationships.

Benefits & culture
- Diversity and inclusion. We prioritize the safety & well-being of our team, and do not tolerate discrimination of any kind. Co–Star is open and respectful to all identities and intersections of identity, and employees are expected to uphold these values and practices.
- Top notch benefits. Unlimited vacation (plus a two week company-wide recharge at the end of each year), $0 deductible fully-covered healthcare (including therapy, vision, and dental), 401k, and generous equity. Everyone is empowered to buy books, attend conferences, and pursue stuff that makes their jobs easier.
- Cross-functional collaboration. We believe that complex problems are best solved by people with different orientations. Writers work directly with AI models. Engineers give presentations on communities they've been a part of. Designers collaborate closely with practicing therapists. Everyone gets a reading from a staff astrologer when they start.
- Hypothesis-driven experimentation. We ideate collectively, test rigorously, and iterate quickly. We interview users to validate hypotheses, ship MVPs fast and often, A/B test everything, and use data to inform our decisions.
- Work with a thoughtful, open and tight-knit group. Every single member of the team has deep knowledge of and experience in something relevant to building Co–Star, be it astrology, community, or world-building.
