@abadesi Thanks so much Abadesi, “Just because something works, doesn’t mean it can’t be improved”. - Shuri ( Black Panther ) We believe that personalized, truly immersive and enjoyable learning experiences should be at the forefront of exceedingly advanced technological progress. This shouldn’t just be something used for emoji’s or selfies…although that’s cool too, we are persuaded that to truly add immense value to the current and future generations we need more players, brilliant teams that can execute exceptionally well in spaces that are truly unsexy but are essential to societal progress. Yet the current systems and signaling today is fundamentally fragmented systemically. So our goal is to work on changing this discussion. To say yes absolutely a education co, not just one geared toward infants but lifelong learning regardless of age or location can in-fact be as exciting and rewarding as a brand as Netflix and Apple are to entertainment and consumerism. It’s going to take everything we have, and we are committed to this journey. It has been quite the incredible almost 4 year journey, from battling skin cancer to getting rejected by every vc firm in the industry...to not having enough money to pay your rent. Fast forward to today and we’re a 3 person team, self funded and profitable startup in the unsexy AI driven computer vision space with a focus on the $200 billion dollar global education market. We are currently top free in over 70 countries and have users in over 125 countries and will pass 250,000 users shortly. When we were paid we were making five figures a month in revenue. At a price point of $2.99-$299 yes we were top paid at $299 and in some countries they paid $500. We are the fastest growing educational product period. We have a triple digit weekly growth rate. Never underestimate exceptional execution, product and market fit...and a diverse team, focused and committed to one single purpose/vision. We’re also launching Tutors this week and we’re tackling not simply word problems but note taking and studying the following week. Oh and we are launching a learning center in LA & San Francisco in the coming months. I won’t talk anymore lol ( it’s already turning into a novel ) our commitment to utilizing this transformative tech advancements with education is directly aligned with Steve Jobs passion and vision: [Steve Jobs on Education - YouTube]() let's build this together - get in touch: info@mathew.cc

@jeremiahsingh For one Photomath isn't a co - it's actually a proof of concept developed by a company called Microblink that has their OCR tech powering 16 of the worlds biggest banks they are in the finance market it's why the product isn't updated or innovated, or why they don't focus on education. Here are just some of reviews in the past few days we’ve had over 250 5 star reviews in over 20 countries We are the most well designed and accurate AI driven machine learning platform our accuracy is above 98% in most conditions something no one has ever achieved. We also have better computation, we go up to any kind of mathematics, phootmath stops at grade 10. 60% of photomaths sentiment reviews are tied to bugs and being very inaccurate, not to mention the computation not being able to compute very advanced math, they don’t care because it’s not their business. It was always only suppose to be a proof of concept to show banks their tech. When you have to scan a problem 5-10 times with photomath that's not a great experience period. 19% of our user base is above 35 and a lot of our younger users are in their professional careers or are studying for the LSAT’s and they aren’t doing elementary math. More importantly you need a brand, a company only focusing on this one problem forever in education not offering solutions to the financial market. We are not pivoting to the banking system to solve their problems, we are consumer driven in education. We have the best team in the world with over 10 years experience building consumer driven products used by millions. We are the future of personalized learning as a platform for the entire world - next week we are launching Tutors allowing any of our hundreds of thousands of users in over 125 countries speaking over 30 languages to chat live with a tutor and learn not just math but learn anything, we're also tacking something Photomath hasn't done because it's extremely hard to do....word problems and other vertices surrounding OCR in the classroom. We have been live for 3 weeks and week after week we're innovating - Photomath has been around for over 6 years has a massive team and millions in the bank and no innovation on that product because it isn't there focus, more importantly no one is in this space innovating and executing exceptionally well and trying to capture all of the value in the personalized learning stack as a platform.

@nicholassheriff Wow you dropped some knowledge on me. I never knew about Photomath being focused on banks and I stopped using Photomath a while back because it wasn’t that good. I thought this app was just one of those “me too apps,” but I’m glad that you are focused on taking further what Photomath couldn’t. I’m definitely gonna be trying it out and would rather support a startup than an established company any day. I also like the focus on education rather than enterprise use. I wish you guys good luck.

@jeremiahsingh Haha thanks so much Jeremiah also we're a very diverse group of people which is unheard of in Tech it's important to tackle very very hard problems like reimagining education for the entire world which when you unpack isn't an easy thing to do by any means and you need everyone involved. If you are committed to reaching and touching the world your needs needs to reasonable the very people you serve and their aren't enough teams tackling this with that kind of representation and it shows in our execution. It's a tough task and it isn't as exciting to most of the tech industry as say building a gaming co like supercell ( no one wants to touch consumer anymore especially in education but it's everything. If we get this right it impacts every area everywhere longtail. We've tackled pretty hard problems in the past few years when we were building products like our counterfeit drug detector, and applying machine learning to early detection of IBC ( Inflammatory Breast Cancer ). So we can do this!

@nicholassheriff Best of luck!

@lamaalrajih Hey....short answer yes but not soon...here is the long winded response get ready lolol We will go on Android but not anytime soon Lama simply because we currently can't handle the long term commitment there ( if we go on android tomorrow we are comitted to android and the experience should be exceptional in every way not exceptional on ios but android is shitty ) which is the case for most products that are multi platform...it's in the long term timeline...I had Samsung as a client few years ago and I've met one of the founders of Android so I know first hand the commitment to android on a very personal level and it's tough to get it right exceptionally well..it also takes focus as in a completely new team just for android ( only way to get it done properly ) it's a completely different ( unfortunately thanks to Google ) commitment resource wise to support Android. We have to get this perfect on iOS first, which will take us most of this year...to fully build this out and to increase our revenue and then we can actually hire for android.

@nicholassheriff no pressure haha. I understand the commitment it takes when it comes to android, and I read your above response after I asked the question, so I understand that you guys aren't in a place where you can support it right now. I'm big on improving education. Apple controls a significant portion of the US market, but Android generally controls a bigger portion of the phone market around the world. I'd love to see the product grow!

@lamaalrajih Absolutely! We could launch in a few months but 100% it will be a shitty product and that's not what my team does everything even our MVPs have always been executed exceptionally well. Not to boast that's a basic expectation from one human being to another human being, we are servants offering super powers to another to augment their life in a way that is transformative and value adding over time....we can only do this the right way...also we haven't gotten ios right we're only 3 weeks old. We are currently on iOS and are in over 125 countries. Apple actually controls the world but they do not control some key emerging markets ( that is changing ) and they do not control areas where people make economic decisions when purchasing mobile computing power, you can't tell someone in India to spend 60 days + worth of wages to buy a $1,000 iphone when they can buy a $5 android device. But that device also means it wouldn't have the computing power that's needed to do some of the things we currently do. Our global long term approach doesn't exactly look like ios the people are different because culturally and globally affordance and value means very different things to different groups of people. We learned this with our other products, where users wouldn't even download apps or load up webpages without thinking about cost, mostly in the middle east...and that isn't really a concept in the us...so to solve this problem branding wise it requires a completely different level of thinking and execution. Which takes a lot of time and $.

@boogsau God damn it Matthew!
