Thank you @Techstars!

Graduates can’t get hired. Startups can’t find talent. Something has to change.

Drafted (Techstars 2026) is addressing this. Founded by Andrew Kozlovski and Rodrigo Pecchio, the company started as a way to match candidates with companies using referrals, data, and video resumes to streamline hiring.

But soon, Andrew saw a new path: microjobs.

Unlike traditional internships, microjobs are short, paid, project-based roles where students and early-career talent complete specific work over days or weeks, not months.

“There’s four million students finishing university every year. That means there’s sixteen million college educated or in process students that can contribute to this effort.” - Andrew Kozlovski, CEO and Co-Founder

The first line on a resume may no longer be a company name. It might be a set of contributions to systems most people never see, but rely on every day.

Agency > Intelligence

I had this intuitively wrong for decades, I think due to a pervasive cultural veneration of intelligence, various entertainment/media, obsession with IQ etc. Agency is significantly more powerful and significantly more scarce. Are you hiring for agency? Are we educating for agency? Are you acting as if you had 10X agency?

Grok explanation is ~close:

“Agency, as a personality trait, refers to an individual's capacity to take initiative, make decisions, and exert control over their actions and environment. It’s about being proactive rather than reactive—someone with high agency doesn’t just let life happen to them; they shape it. Think of it as a blend of self-efficacy, determination, and a sense of ownership over one’s path.

People with strong agency tend to set goals and pursue them with confidence, even in the face of obstacles. They’re the type to say, “I’ll figure it out,” and then actually do it. On the flip side, someone low in agency might feel more like a passenger in their own life, waiting for external forces—like luck, other people, or circumstances—to dictate what happens next.

It’s not quite the same as assertiveness or ambition, though it can overlap. Agency is quieter, more internal—it’s the belief that you *can* act, paired with the will to follow through. Psychologists often tie it to concepts like locus of control: high-agency folks lean toward an internal locus, feeling they steer their fate, while low-agency folks might lean external, seeing life as something that happens *to* them.”
