Values

What we believe

The rules we don't break.

"Ship or it doesn't exist"
Ideas mean nothing. Shipped features mean everything.
"Students first, always"
Every decision: does this help students learn better?
"Free forever for students"
We'll find other ways to make money. Not from students.
"Radical transparency"
This page exists. That's the vibe.

Comp

Honest talk on comp

No corporate spin. Here's exactly where things stand.

We're pre-revenue. Team members get:

Formal agreements signed before any funding round.
