About the Organization:
SmartCourse.io is a NEW high-growth, accelerated, technology-based, social impact startup optimizing education and healthcare for kids with special needs and their caregivers. Caregivers like parents, educators, and health professionals spend too many years and too much money trying to treat kids with special needs or mental health issues. Our products help them to do it in weeks, for a fraction of the cost, using digital products to educate these caregivers on how to best care for and teach kids with special needs so that they can meet their social, behavioral, and academic goals.
We also plan to make technologies that optimize individual learning and caregiving for schools/educators, parents, and health professionals (B2B and/or B2G). We also plan to offer our products to large enterprises (e.g. Amazon, Walmart, etc.) to include them as part of their health benefits for their employees with special needs or with family members who have special needs.
Ever present is the end in mind: revolutionizing the education and healthcare systems for all kids everywhere since the whole world will soon have access to the internet. We are already on our way to achieving this by working with:
- World-leading health professionals (e.g. psychiatrists, psychologists, behavioral therapists, etc.)
- Educators (e.g. school admins, special education teachers, etc.)
- Startup mentors, advisors, and incubators/accelerators (e.g. Teachable’s EdTech Incubator, Startup Boost’s Pre-Accelerator, Hubspot’s Growth Accelerator, HealthVenture’s HealthTech accelerator, the world's largest EdTech accelerator: StartEd, and YCombinator's Startup School) Our advisers include professors, researchers, EdTech founders, HealthTech founders, product managers, venture capitalists, and investors.
