Founding Design Partner Program
Exclusive Opportunity for Forward-Thinking Colleges, Universities, and Workplaces
Most academic and workplace support systems rely on a one-size-fits-all approach that fails to account for individual differences in executive function, learning strategies, mental health, cultural context, and lived experience. As a result, many capable students remain under-supported until they reach a point of crisis. Reactive support models—intervening only after performance declines—contribute to lower satisfaction, reduced persistence, and higher dropout rates. Institutions require scalable, proactive solutions that integrate learning support into the educational experience before failure occurs.
