Our portfolio companies provide benefits in a variety of spaces. @joshuadowens and the team at Boost are improving academic performance by making sure students stay on top of their assignments.
We finished pre-launch tests this spring at Boost. We sent 500,000+ boost reminders to thousands of students for assignment due dates. We know when & why students fall behind. It’s clear students (& parents) need help keeping up & we’re launching nationally this fall to help! 🎓

“Boost has actually helped me create a better schedule to do my work,” Edwards said. “Last week, my group and I were overwhelmed with schoolwork. If it wasn’t for Boost, we would have missed a quiz that was due at midnight.” Little reminders = big wins 🎓 https://t.co/Qw2EYs4uI0

Boost is a phone app that sweeps up information about students’ class assignments and uses it to nag them (in a friendly way) to get stuff done on time.
