Learn fast, do things.

Hi, I'm Daniel.

I won the highest academic achievement award in 8th grade. Then my high school kicked me out.

I had one semester left. Every remaining course was online. I told them I was leaving the country for three months to build my company. They demitted me anyway. Three credits short of a diploma.

I realized the incentives were misaligned.

For over a year I'd been asking my district to let teachers use AI to grade faster. Better feedback for students. Less burnout for teachers. I pitched 78 teachers at my school, including the one I'd watched grade 60 papers in a single evening. Not one replied. The district said it was "not a priority." I was 16.

And the system doesn't change unless the pain of staying the same outweighs the pain of changing. It wasn't that they couldn't see the upside. They just didn't have a reason to care.

There are far too many kids who've had their talent buried under a fear of stepping out of line from the system's expectation of them. So to prove that it's possible, to bring upon us a generation of people great at their craft, I'm dropping everything I've built over the past 3 years.

We're done with smoke and mirrors. Done with the theatrics. You can't build for a system that is broken. For a long time I believed that traditional education would either be forced to adapt itself to the real world, or find itself obsolete.

We're here to do that.

No proctoring, no AI bans, no grading that punishes early mistakes. Every project produces something real.
