In their words
Litnerd is a kids reading + writing club app that grew by 14x this past school year. Think of us as a modern-day Scholastic, with a heavy IP play. We create original IP with our community + partner brands -> turn them into books, media and learning curriculum, layered with an AI personalized tutor to help kids learn to read and write in a personalized and engaging way. Our product format is a Social and Gamified - with a live weekly community meetup and monthly e-tournaments. - And it works! Litnerd 4x improved the pass rate of students on their annual state Reading (ELA) exam. - STICKY: Kids spend 10-20 minutes on the Litnerd app OUTSIDE of classroom time. - KID AUTHORS: Kids are the authors of the books and Litnerd AI helps illustrate + publish the book. - Built on the Science of Reading - Original IP: all books, media and courseware is original content created and published by Litnerd.

Is this you?
If you're behind Litnerd: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. FoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
