Our Story

We didn’t start as an AI company. We started with a conviction about learning.

Seven years building courses and programs. Decades, across the team, building education companies that have served millions of learners.

Early Days

Shooting courses on iPhones

Building programs alongside institutions and faculty, one course at a time.

The In-Between Years

Learning what didn’t scale

Watching great teaching get trapped in disconnected tools and one-off content.

Today

Building the intelligence layer

AI arrived and we already understood what it needed to be grounded in.

The Team

The people behind the conviction.
