Letterly
Letterly is an AI-powered writing education platform that pairs students ages 8-18 with human coaches to build literacy through daily writing, structured feedback, and real publishing. Founded by former Wall Street analyst Jane Chen, the company runs multi-week bootcamps where students draft, revise, and publish articles - and even ship a physical copy of a book they author. Letterly reports serving more than 3,000 students across 30 states and seven countries, with students improving roughly half a grade level in eight weeks.
Jane Chen
Jane Chen is the founder and CEO of Letterly, an AI-assisted, human-in-the-loop writing platform that has helped more than 3,000 students across 30 states and seven countries write, revise, and publish their own work. A New York-born daughter of Chinese immigrants who returned from Shanghai unable to speak English, she studied history at Harvard, spent a decade on Wall Street as an investment banker and hedge fund analyst, then walked away from finance to rebuild how kids learn to write - starting with 30 students at a community center and growing into a seed-funded company with nearly 13,000 published student articles.
