Tomodachi Prep

About the startup

Tomodachi Prep is a peer-to-peer mock interview platform designed to help software engineers and computer science students ace their technical interviews. "Tomodachi" means "friend" in Japanese, and the platform is built on the belief that the best way to prepare is to practice with others. Unlike traditional interview prep tools that rely on pre-recorded content or expensive coaching, Tomodachi Prep connects you with real practice partners for live, timed mock interviews. You can participate in AI-driven or peer-matched sessions that include live coding environments and system design whiteboards. The platform helps you improve your interview performance through actionable feedback from both artificial intelligence and fellow community members. Key features include smart peer matching that pairs you with partners at your skill level, a 24/7 AI voice interviewer for on-demand practice anytime, a collaborative code editor with real-time sync for authentic interview simulation, and structured post-session feedback with ratings and written reviews. A gamified progression system with gems, badges, and leaderboards keeps you motivated and consistent in your preparation. Tomodachi Prep is built for everyone from new graduates targeting their first software role to senior engineers preparing for leadership-level interviews at top tech companies. The platform turns interview prep from a lonely, stressful grind into a social, rewarding experience where every practice session makes you sharper and more confident.
