Homework help AI that teaches instead of giving answers
ChatGPT does the homework. We make the AI Socratic — it asks questions until the student figures it out themselves. Teachers love it. Students are annoyed by it. That means it works. 4,000 students, 90 schools piloting. Need a React developer.

Language learning app built around real news stories
Duolingo teaches you "the duck is under the table". Real language learners want to read the news. We take actual news articles and break them down to your level, track vocabulary and adjust difficulty. 18k active learners, 6 languages. Need a designer.

Corporate training platform that employees actually use
Compliance training completion rates average 34%. Nobody cares. We built 5-minute micro-learning modules with spaced repetition that feel like news, not HR. 12 companies, 4,200 employees, 89% completion. Need a backend engineer.
