We realized that elementary teachers were excited about finished lessons and needed support in teaching science, which led us to focus on creating a curriculum for them.

We initially thought we were targeting science specialists, but we found that elementary teachers, who often feel unprepared to teach science, were actually the ones who needed our help.

When we finally found a product that resonated with elementary teachers, it felt like we had traction, and we knew we were on the right path.

Realizing we were selling to students with limited funds, we shifted our focus to building a product for companies to help them identify the right developers based on skills.

We initially aimed to teach math but shifted to teaching languages, particularly English, because we realized it would have a broader impact and reach more people.

Initially, we thought we were on the path to success, but I later realized that we were not converting users into paying customers because we were too focused on fundraising and PR instead of creating a product that people actually needed.

During our conversations, Steve and I reflected on how we both believed technology would revolutionize education, but we realized we were wrong about its impact.

We initially underestimated the complexity of teaching languages, but through A/B testing and hiring experts in second language acquisition, we significantly improved our teaching methods.

We believe in building a global classroom that connects teachers and students from different cultures, fostering lifelong learning through personalized and engaging content.
