Hear from the founders
How did your company get started? (i.e., How did the founders meet? How did you come up with the idea? How did you decide to be a founder?)
Qi (CTO) and I (CEO) have been close friends since college. Our friendship started from competing speed-solving Rubik’s Cubes, and deepened by years of collaborations. I’m impressed by his talents and execution excellence, and he trusts my sharp insights and vision. We support and respect each other. In 2018, I had encouraged CTO to apply for US graduate schools, and I went to CMU. We two had been planning for building startups since then. In 2020, we both started professional careers. I actively participated in entrepreneurship events in the Bay Area and discussed with CTO regularly. In June 2023, we think it’s about the time to actually build something.
What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?
AI is capable of many things effortlessly, while humans need to go through a learning curve for every task. How shall we survive given rapidly changing technology? Learning how to think and adapt is the key. We encourage both students and teachers to embrace AI as a tool to get inspiration and boost productivity. We believe AI will bring education to the next level. We want to dismantle educational barriers, we are envisioning a future where quality, affordable, and personalized learning experiences are accessible to all people at any time.
