Our Mission
Our mission is to develop EdTech for those with learning differences (LDs) or neurodivergent disorders (NDDs). We develop high-quality, personally engaging education systems using conversational interfaces, computer vision, and leading hardware technology.
Our intelligent learning platforms are designed to adapt in real time to each student’s unique needs, learning style, and pace, ensuring a truly customized educational journey. These platforms will also offer seamless engagement options for teachers and parents, fostering collaboration and support throughout the student’s learning process.
While our primary focus is on the US market, we view it as the ideal foundation for scaling globally, with plans to extend our impact to countries like India and Singapore. By testing and refining our solutions in the US, we are setting the stage for a broader, transformative reach worldwide.
