Brainscape company profile

Brainscape is an adaptive mobile education platform that is changing the way people study just about any subject. Founded by cognitive neuroscientists, engineers, data junkies, and executives from the education industry, Brainscape is building the foundations of a comprehensive "knowledge graph" that is helping people learn nearly any topic more efficiently. Brainscape allows professors, thought leaders, and top students to create "smart flashcards" in the Brainscape format and share them within their schools, organizations, and the rest of the world. Brainscape is already installed on several million iOS devices across the K-12, higher ed, corporate training, and lifelong learner markets. The team has developed a successful freemium SaaS revenue model that allows power users to purchase access to advanced content and features. Brainscape's ultimate goal is to map the world of knowledge into bite-sized, learnable chunks -- an initiative it calls the Knowledge Genome Project.
