§ 02 — Statement of Intent

Gri9d is, put most plainly, a student operating system.It is two products on one sign-up The Forge, which applies for jobs on your behalf, and Campus Connect, which lets the student at the end of your hall fix your resume for forty dollars.It keeps track, earns you XP, stays free forever, and politely leaves when you graduate.

§ 03 — Exhibit A · the two sides

One coin.
Two sides.

Flip the coin by dragging it, or just wait — it'll turn on its own every six seconds. On one face, what Gri9d does for you. On the other, what it lets you do for each other.

Minted 2026. Struck in two editions: obverse.

Who built Gri9d?

Founder Name 1

Co-founder

University of Melbourne

Built the first version of The Forge after watching friends miss internship deadlines because applications took hours each. Believes the next decade of student work will be brokered by software, not career fairs.
