Founded in 2021 by Paulius Serva, Emilija Platūkytė, Tomas Sipko, and Vilius Jastremskas, the startup aims to tackle the difficulties students face in teaching mathematics, a subject they often find challenging to engage with.
- The startup’s website offers over 700 classes and 15,000 exercises that adjust to each student's specific learning speed. Alfa Space seeks to improve knowledge retention through the use of active learning approaches.
- In addition to assisting students, the platform provides features to help teachers manage duties like class planning and homework tasks.
