Leland is building the home for ambition in the age of AI. We connect people with the experts, programs, and communities they need to land the job, get into the school, or upskill for a world being rewritten by AI. We help businesses become AI-native through training, hiring, and infrastructure.

Ideal candidates have professional or elite athletic experience, prior mentoring experience, and a clear, structured approach to helping athletes translate their skills and identity into a new career path. Mentors set their own hours and rates, host sessions virtually, and partner with our team to deliver a high-quality, supportive experience for every athlete.
