Martin Schneider
Martin Schneider is the co-founder and CEO of RemNote, the all-in-one note-taking and spaced-repetition app he started coding as an MIT computer science student in 2017 to fix his own habit of forgetting everything he learned a semester later. What began as a private side project he used alone for three years grew into a learning platform with over a million users, backed by a $2.8M seed round from General Catalyst, 468 Capital, Soma Capital and Dorm Room Fund. He blends learning science, neuroscience and software to chase a single idea: that you should be able to learn something once and remember it forever.
The 138-Year-Old Publisher That Learned to Think in Software
McGraw Hill spent more than a century putting knowledge between covers. Its next act is turning that trusted catalog - and billions of student interactions - into adaptive software for classrooms that cannot afford to get the answer wrong.
Tenor
Tenor is a San Francisco AI platform that helps managers get better at the human part of the job. Through hyper-realistic voice AI role-play simulations trained on a company's own leadership approach, managers rehearse high-stakes conversations - performance reviews, layoffs, conflict, feedback - in a safe space and get instant, coaching-style feedback. Founded in 2023 by former Workday leaders Charlie Stigler and James Cross, Tenor raised a $5.4M seed round led by Base10 Partners in December 2024.
