Acely 做什么

Acely is the leading AI tutor for the digital SAT and ACT, helping students get into their dream college. Our mission is to democratize opportunity for high school families through AI-native tools that empower students to learn smarter and gain confidence. Backed by Forerunner Ventures, we've grown to $10M ARR with a lean, 10-person team, proof that small, mission-driven teams can deliver outsized impact. Our product has traction, our users are engaged, and we're now at an inflection point: ready to scale with speed, craft, and AI-native excellence. Acely was launched out of beta in January 2024 as a spinout product from Juni (YC W18).

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

We built Acely to be an AI tutor for the digital SAT and ACT. It's a personalized coach that helps high school students prepare for these tests efficiently, gaining skills and confidence along the way. The product focuses on making access to effective test prep more affordable and data-driven than traditional tutoring or prep classes.

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

We're based in San Francisco, CA and plan to stay here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we built the product and built our early team. It's the center for AI and edtech talent, so staying here keeps us close to key resources and future hires.
