Have you ever taken your car in for repair, only for the problem to persist?

That’s exactly what happened to ’ business partner, , co-founder of . Many people encounter problems like these and are taken advantage of by the automotive mechanical industry.��

Jonathan's journey as a founder began at the ��ɫ��Ƶ, where he immersed himself in the entrepreneurial ecosystem that CU has become known for. With a background in Political Science along with experience in Sales and Marketing, Jonathan has channeled those experiences into MyMech, a company reimagining car maintenance for the everyday driver. Based in Boulder, MyMech is striving to keep people safer on the road through Artificial Intelligence, along with diagnostics specific to your vehicle.��

Many car owners throughout the nation become frustrated with current solutions and the ever-increasing costs of repair. MyMech is here to fix that. Through its many features, including a plug-in OBDII sensor to decode an engine’s problems, an AI assistant to interpret those codes, or a forum connecting with experienced mechanics, MyMech successfully simplifies what is potentially an extremely stressful situation.

For Jonathan, MyMech represents a chance to apply his entrepreneurial mindset to a relatable problem, reflecting the same spirit that carried him through his years at CU.

Diagnosing Cars the Smarter Way

From the moment Gwen experienced her problem, the duo acted on it - not leaving it at frustration but turning it into inspiration. So, they built a digital mechanic that puts knowledge in the hands of car owners, allowing them to avoid being blindsided by unexpected repairs or unsafe conditions. From there, Jonathan and his team began building MyMech’s AI-driven platform.

In practice, MyMech functions as both hardware and software, but its real breakthrough is Mira, the AI brain behind the platform. Mira can work with an OBDII sensor, as well as the camera and microphone on your phone, to pick up sounds or spot issues under the hood. From there, it translates what it sees and hears into plain language, pointing out possible wear and tear and offering guidance for the next step. The experience is designed to give drivers the kind of clarity and confidence that usually comes only from a trusted mechanic, turning confusion into a plan of action.

This ability to turn problems into solutions didn’t come out of nowhere. At ��ɫ��Ƶ, Jonathan was heavily involved in programs that encouraged him to think like an entrepreneur. He participated in programs like Entrepreneurship and Empowerment in South Africa (EESA), (including recent events like Foundercon), and the Deming Center’s resources. All of these experiences built on one another, building his technical skills and reinforcing his entrepreneurial mindset, heavily contributing to the creation of his venture and experiences as a student.

Jonathan’s company reflects those lessons. The adaptability of the AI engine mirrors the adaptable mindset he adopted as a student, and his ability to take a real-world challenge and transform it into something valuable. Whether he’s in the classroom, in a rigorous program, or exercising his ability to create, Jonathan is always thinking differently.

Getting Ready for Launch

MyMech has moved past the early idea stage and is now positioning itself for growth. The technology is functional, the platform is built, and the team is aligned around a clear mission. Now, the focus turns to scaling, a challenge that requires the right kind of funding. Jonathan and his team are actively seeking investors who understand both the automotive and AI spaces and who are willing to support the vision of making car care more transparent and safe.

The timing is particularly important. With beta testing and market entry coming up, investment will fuel everything from marketing efforts to partnerships with parts suppliers and repair shops. Jonathan recognizes that the right funding will not only allow MyMech to scale but also accelerate the development of new features that strengthen the platform’s usefulness.

Still, he approaches fundraising with patience. While securing capital is a high priority, it’s also about finding investors whose values and goals align with the company’s. MyMech is built on solving a universal problem, and Jonathan knows the partners they bring on now will shape how far and fast the company can grow. For him, this moment represents both validation of the idea and the beginning of a larger journey.

Looking ahead, MyMech’s roadmap is ambitious. Beta testing is set for late 2025, with plans to expand sales and marketing across multiple states in 2026. To help them reach their goals, they are wisely using consumer and public opinion.

For as long as he remembers, he’s done things a little off the beaten path, finding creative solutions where others might only see problems. That mindset helped him through entrepreneurial programs, carried him into founding MyMech, guiding him as he steers the company toward growth, and has become an everyday part of his life that makes his story so interesting.��

“I’ve always been this… can we do it better? This seems to be more effective... I see the opportunity and ask, how do we make it better?”

Jonathan is all about community, understanding CU’s ecosystem and how it supports its community. He’s built MyMech around that mindset, finding the right entrepreneurs with the right resources.
