KOMPASMake guidance accessible.
Make trustworthy, relevant and affordable one-to-one guidance accessible in Bangladesh, beginning with university students and expanding according to real needs.
✳ OUR STORY / WHY WE EXIST
A better future begins with a better conversation.
At KOMPAS, we believe practical guidance becomes more meaningful when it comes from a person who has already travelled the path.
✳ OUR PURPOSE
Turning lived experience into someone else's clarity.
For many students and early-career people in Bangladesh, critical life decisions are shaped by fragmented information, online opinions and expensive consultations. Too often, the missing piece is a simple conversation with someone whose journey is directly relevant.
KOMPAS is being built to connect ambition with experience. A current university student can explain the reality of a campus. A scholarship recipient can share how they approached their applications. A professional can speak about the decisions behind a career move.
We don't believe every mentor needs to be famous. We believe the right experience, offered thoughtfully, can change a person's next step.
✳ OUR DIRECTION
Connect ambition with opportunity.
Build an ecosystem where people can find meaningful opportunities, identify relevant people to learn from and take informed next steps.
✳ THE PRINCIPLES THAT MATTER
Built for trust.
Designed for progress.
Experience before popularity
People should be discoverable for what they have achieved and experienced, not their follower counts.
Trust before scale
Verification and responsible review are essential to building a meaningful mentor community.
Affordable access
Students and early-career users should have a practical path to relevant guidance.
Bangladesh first
Language, payments, user experience and outreach should reflect the lives of Bangladeshi users.
Human mentorship
Digital systems and AI can assist a service; they should not replace human experience.
Start narrow, grow with demand
Prove value in a focused community before expanding into new markets and specializations.
✳ FIND YOUR DIRECTION
Small conversations. Meaningful direction.
Our approach starts with the real needs of the people we hope to help.
