The Opportunity
Give students the full story of their education
The traditional education model is fundamentally broken, caught in a downward spiral of knowledge loss, student disengagement, and a total lack of transparency for parents and administrators. This creates a massive, urgent market need for a comprehensive solution.

Traction & Financials
Proven Model, Profitable from Day One
We aren't a pre-revenue startup. Our landmark partnership with DePaul University validates our business model and provides a $2.72M contracted revenue base
Five-Year Financial Projections
Blueprint for Expansion
The DePaul partnership is our highly replicable playbook.
DePaul University: $2.72M ARR
Sponsoring 223k Catholic school students + 22k direct university licenses.
Active Pipeline
Purdue (107k students) & Adtalem (91k students) prove scalability.
Google Partnership
Mass distribution to 90% of US schools via Google's sales team and marketplace.
Exceptional Unit Economics
Our model is built for profitable growth.
Lifetime Value (LTV)
Multi-year, high-margin recurring revenue from sponsors and ads, locked in by high switching costs.
Customer Acq. Cost (CAC)
Near-zero for student users (acquired wholesale). Extremely low for university sponsors, acquired via targeted sales and Google partnership.
LTV/CAC Ratio
> 10x
A clear indicator of a sustainable, highly efficient growth engine.
The Investment
A Compelling Seed Opportunity
