We Believe...

Teachers need fewer tools and more time to improve learning outcomes for students.

AI will not replace teachers, but it can help focus their time on what matters most.

Teaching is one of the hardest jobs out there. Educators deserve solutions that are designed with, and explicitly for, teachers.

Our team

We are a committed team of technologists and educators working to make teaching more sustainable. Across our team, we have parents, engineers, business school graduates, and decades of collective experience creating education tools that serve teachers and students.
