Evalvate - AI Interview Performance Coach

Inspiration

Candidates constantly wonder: “Am I speaking too fast? Am I confident enough? Should I smile more?”

Yet they rarely get real answers. 48% of students fail interviews not due to lack of skills, but lack of confidence, clarity, and feedback. Universities struggle with placement outcomes; companies face costly mis-hires.

Evalvate was built to fix this feedback gap.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

What we learned

Interview prep isn’t just about “what” you say, but how you say it. Students crave specific, actionable feedback, not generic “good/bad.” Universities want measurable insights, not vague placement reports. Building trust with users requires empathy, we tested Evalvate on ourselves first.
