Experience drives better decision-making and learning: Chalky enables
experiential learning through one-to-one, peer-to-peer interaction.
Mentorship and advice-sharing has been largely offline, non-scalable,
and inefficient: Chalky bridges the gap between high-touch, personal
advice and low-touch, generalized content.
Relevant mentors are hard to find and cultivate relationships with: Our
platform, content creation tools, and recommendation engine enables
mentees and mentors to match effectively.
We are unlocking life's collective experience, tapping into latent
knowledge and unique experiences that normally go unshared.

hey isaac, I don't think we've formally met before, but I'm currently working on a startup at MIT's Launch summer
program and was wondering if you could help me with a few of my questions. The startup is basically a
crowdsourced peer editing platform for students to help other students with their academic work. the idea was
actually inspired by chalky. let me know if you're ever free to chat, thanks!
