What Educato does

Educato builds exam prep platforms worldwide using AI. Online exam prep has existed for decades, yet the big players all target the same top 10 exams in the US. The reality is that most exams around the world still have little to no quality online prep material, including many taken by hundreds of thousands of students each year. Educato uses AI to generate high-quality prep content for these exams. LLMs allow us to target the profitable fat middle in the distribution of exams, historically overlooked by education companies.

Worldwide exam-prep platform

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build AI-powered exam prep platforms targeting exams outside the usual US top 10. Our product uses large language models to generate high-quality, tailored prep content for exams worldwide that currently have little or no quality online materials.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco and work remotely; the company is based in San Francisco, CA after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we live and the tech ecosystem we want to be part of. Remote work allows us flexibility, but YC's location in the city will help us connect and grow the team.
