Projects

Ventures, tools, games, research threads, and useful half-ideas.

A running map of what I am building or thinking through. The core projects stay on top. Everything else is intentionally high-level: public enough to explain the direction, private enough not to expose sensitive deal, investing, or personal information.

Primary builds

Top of the stack.

Education / Live site

Novo Prep Academy

A new kind of private school opening in Miami in fall 2028 for grades 6-12, built around individualized education for everyone, for real, for the first time.

Open project

Wealth / Live site

MissionFirst Wealth

A standalone website for a mission-first wealth strategy concept, built around clearer planning, lower-cost implementation, and complex financial lives.

Open project

Community / Live site

Las Rocas

A Miami climbing, fitness, recovery, and community space. It is the physical-world version of a lot of what I care about: movement, belonging, performance, and people gathering around a shared practice.

Open project

Live experiments

Things you can actually open.

AI career tool / Live

Will AI Replace Me?

A career-resilience assessment for the AI transition. The idea: give people a quick, legible way to think about how exposed their work may be and what they can do next.

Open project

Railway app / Live

Nexus

A live app hosted on Railway. Keeping it here as part of the public project map while the shape and public description are still being worked out.

Open project

Education / Live site

Novo Prep public launch site

The current public-facing page for the school concept: a simple explanation of individualized education, a Miami launch timeline, and a parent-facing call to learn more.

Open project

Personal site / Live

jesseseitz.com

This site: a home base for writing, projects, education work, wealth strategy, games, and whatever is worth turning into a public artifact.

Open project

Writing archive / Live

Substack and public writing

The main home for essays on investing, AI, markets, education, and notes that are useful precisely because they force the thinking to get sharper.

Open Substack

Venture concepts

Concepts with enough gravity to keep around.

Investment platform

Thesis

A concept for translating natural-language investment views into portfolios, watchlists, risk factors, and implementation ideas. The broader question: what does investing look like when research and execution get an AI-native interface?

Concept

SMB acquisition tooling

DealSight AI

A tool concept for analyzing small-business acquisitions: quality of earnings, customer concentration, downside cases, financing, diligence questions, and what could break after closing.

Concept

Real estate software

Real Estate Opportunity Engine

A data layer for finding development or acquisition opportunities using zoning, ownership, density, infrastructure, parcel, and market signals. Useful because the best real estate questions are often hidden in boring local data.

Concept

Operations / AI adoption

AI Implementation Services

A productized-services idea for helping durable, non-software businesses use AI in actual workflows: sales, admin, reporting, recruiting, customer support, diligence, and internal knowledge.

Concept

Workforce training

Vocational Training Lab

A workforce-training exploration around vocational education, simulation, job placement, and funding pathways. Connected to the same question as Novo Prep: how should learning change when the tools get better?

Exploration

Security education

Deepfake and Phishing Training

A lightweight training concept for offices and families navigating AI-enabled scams, voice cloning, phishing, impersonation, and the social side of cybersecurity.

Exploration

Games and learning tools

Market games I keep wanting to play.

Game idea

Market Wordle

A ticker-guessing game idea from the old site: guess the company in six tries using market hints, sector feedback, and progressively better clues.

Prototype idea

Game idea

Valuation Puzzle

Given the financials, guess the company. Useful as a learning game, a valuation drill, and a way to test whether business intuition survives without the ticker attached.

Prototype idea

Market game

Bull or Bear

Read a real headline, guess whether the stock went up or down, and track your streak. Half market history, half humility machine.

Prototype idea

Learning system

Company Guessing Drills

A broader version of the valuation game: learn companies by inputs, incentives, margins, capital intensity, growth durability, and weird clues instead of memorizing logos.

Concept

Social product

Friend Atlas

A shareable map idea for friends to drop pins, see where people are, and make travel or city overlap more visible. A small bet on software that helps real-world social life instead of replacing it.

Prototype

Multiplayer game

Scrabble with AI Validation

A multiplayer word-game experiment with a full board, timers, and AI-assisted word validation. Mostly a way to test real-time interaction and make game night a little more internet-native.

Prototype

Forecasting toy

P(DOOM) Calculator

A Monte Carlo-style calculator for turning fuzzy existential-risk inputs into a shareable probability range. Half serious uncertainty modeling, half internet artifact.

Prototype

Research threads

Ideas that may turn into products, essays, or both.

AI / Labor

AI labor market map

A working thesis on the awkward middle of AI adoption: which white-collar business models get pressured, which infrastructure businesses benefit, and how fast the transition hits.

Read thesis

Markets / AI

White-collar displacement thesis

A recurring investment and writing theme: AI first pressures businesses built on expensive, repeatable cognitive labor, while creating new demand for infrastructure, distribution, and judgment.

Research thread

Education model

Novo Prep operating model

The underlying question behind Novo Prep: what should school look like if personalization, software, and better feedback loops are built into the day from the beginning?

See public site

Real estate / Capital

Workforce housing thesis

A private research thread around housing affordability, Sun Belt markets, policy responses, employment stress, financing, and how real estate behaves when labor markets change.

Research thread

Wealth process

Wealth Mission Intake

A planning workflow that starts with intent, risk, liquidity, taxes, debt, and family context before talking about products or model portfolios.

See public site

Investing / Wealth

Capital operating system

A high-level idea for better wealth and investing decision systems: goals, liquidity, risk, reporting, alignment, communication, and what should be handled by humans versus software.

Research thread
