Marker Learning is a New York-based company that makes learning-disability evaluations more accessible and less time-consuming. Founded by Stefan Bauer and Emily Yudofsky - both diagnosed with dyslexia as children - the company began by bringing remote, lower-cost psychological assessments for conditions like dyslexia and ADHD to families and schools. It has since built an AI-assisted report-writing platform for special education teams and school psychologists that turns referral and assessment documents into structured, citation-backed draft reports, cutting report writing from hours to minutes while keeping clinical judgment with the evaluator.
Clayful is a tech-enabled mental health company that gives K-12 students on-demand, chat-based coaching with a certified coach in about 60 seconds, across 133 languages. Founded in 2021 by Maria Barrera and Melissa Pelochino, the platform is purchased by school districts and free for students, aiming to make proactive mental health support a right rather than a privilege.
