ABOUT US

We built the tools we wish we’d had

We spent years working with neurodivergent people struggling with systems that weren’t built for them.

Software that helps with organisation, but only if you are organised enough to get it working for you. Or revision strategies that require time, effort and energy before you even start on the learning part.

Small examples maybe, but ones with potentially big impacts.

Things we thought we could try and do something about. And so we built some software.

(Actually we hired some people to build some software, but that really isn’t as punchy…)

Who we are

Laura & Tim, two co-founders who spent time working in education and watching neurodivergent learners fall through the gaps, joined early on by Tony, who brought much needed design and technical know-how to the table.

Plus a team, largely of neurodivergent people, or parents of neurodivergent children. Quite often both. All dedicated to want to have a positive impact on the world.

It’s important to know who you’re working with. So here’s a bit more about our co-founders and the supporting team.
