Class Companion’s mission is to provide accessible and high-quality personalized learning. Our first product provides instant AI feedback on written assignments. For teachers, the feedback provides unprecedented insights to coach individual students and saves hours of work. For students, the feedback creates intrinsic motivation centered on progress and improves learning outcomes. AI is not an end but a means to help our education system accommodate the unique learning needs of every student.
We balance vision and pragmatism. We build our product in partnership with teachers and students. We are a small team of diverse individuals with shared core values: intellectual curiosity, hard work, impact, and kindness.
Our cofounders are Avery Pan (CEO) and Jack Forbes (CTO), both of whom have educators in their families. Avery led Outschool’s international growth and PicnicHealth’s (YC S14) life sciences sales. She has a BA and MBA from Harvard. Jack led growth teams at MasterClass and founded Kopa (YC W19). He has a BS from the University of Waterloo. Our investors include Index Ventures and OpenAI.
In this role, you will improve the Class Companion product from new features, to bug fixes, to a polished experience. This will involve iterating upon a scalable frontend (and fullstack if interested) infrastructure to continue to lay the groundwork for the future of Class Companion. You will work with the whole team and most closely with the CTO and CEO. You will have input on both product and design decisions while interacting with teachers.
