About SOLVED
The SOLVED founders, executive and supporting teams are made up of educators. Unlike most Silicon Valley tech companies, we are committed to building products that elevate your school rather than our brand.
Our Story
SOLVED was founded and is led by former NYC Public School educators. In collaboration with school leadership teams, SOLVED consultants support teachers’ efforts to improve students’ learning opportunities.
Our purpose is to bridge the gap between theory and practice, ensuring that educational institutions are equipped to prepare students for success in an ever-changing world. We are dedicated to conducting thorough research, staying abreast of the latest trends and advancements in education, and disseminating our knowledge to institutions seeking to enhance their curricula, teaching methods, and assessment practices.
Our Mission
Our mission at SOLVED is to modernize and transform the education system by providing innovative, research-based solutions and support to educational institutions. We strive to empower schools and educators with the tools and knowledge necessary to meet the evolving needs of students in the 21st century.
Ultimately, our mission is to empower educational institutions, administrators, and educators to embrace change, embrace innovation, and embrace new ideas. We believe that by modernizing and transforming the education system, we can empower students to become confident, adaptable, and active participants in shaping their own futures and contributing positively to society.
