Company Description

We enable teachers to create quizzes, tests, homework, and projects to give targeted feedback to students in new ways that promote learning and development. Our web-based tool, called Tiro, redirects teachers’ time from grading papers to analyzing students’ progress, helping transform traditional classroom testing into a celebration of student learning and development.Tiro hopes to enhance traditional ‘report cards’ with teacher-designed, analytics-based learning and development reports that list the specific strengths of each and every student with descriptions, rather than simplistic letter grades, numbers, or check marks. One of our long-term goals is to build a platform for classroom teachers to write large-scale assessments that can be shared and used by other educators around the world.Given the Company’s limited operating history, the Company cannot reliably estimate how much revenue it will receive in the future, if any.

Valuation

Security Description

A SAFE is an agreement between you—the investor—and the company in which the company promises to give you a future equity stake based on the amount you invested. It also involves some kind of a triggering event that must take place in order for you to get your future equity stake. Be careful as you may only get equity if a particular event is triggered.
