We raised. Here's what changes and what doesn't.

This week we closed a Series A. The full announcement lives on our press page. Here we want to say what changes for the product and what doesn't.

What changes: we can afford to hire the team we've wanted for the roadmap ahead. We can support more institutions. We can extend the free tier for schools where paying is not possible. We can invest in the multi-language rollout that has been in the pipeline for a year.

What doesn't change: the stance, the design brief, the metrics we watch, the parent dashboard's privacy stance, the refusal to ship an answer button, the fact that we are building a product that measures its own success by the extent to which its users stop needing it.

That last one is the important one. Thanks for being here.
