What d’you want for your children?

What would you give´em so they can live safe, happy, meaningful lives?

The best financial advice? The best digital devices? Or the best teachers?

Nothing contributes to safe, prosperous, sustainable, equitable societies like excellent education. The world needs excellent education, at scale. Now.

The kind of scale digital tools can brig. But, as we saw in the pandemic, digital education so far… is short from excellent.

One major cause for this i is that teachers are not convinced by these tools. And I can’t blame them. Teachers hate today’s tools. They’re excruciating to use, imposing, rigid. They tell teachers how to teach. They… treat teachers like they’re expendable.

We´re Leemons: the Learning Experience Platform that ignites and expands the power of teachers to change lives.

Teachers love Leemons. They don’t feel treated as bureaucrats, but as leaders and creators.Why? Because we’ve built Leemons around the behaviors of life-changing teachers in schools, universities and companies.

Life-changing teachers can run a tight ship, but can also make exceptions. So we put in flexible structures and teamwork tools to comply with official curricula and keep students on task. But also smoothly support adaptations for special needs.

Life-changing teachers keep their students engaged, always curious, engrossed with the joy of learning. So we made effortless ways to create, reuse and share immersive contents and activities.

Life-changing teachers have a contagious drive to do better. So we built evaluation tools that make it a breeze to deliver continuous feedback. And actionable metrics to hone their teaching.

And finally, no two life-changing teachers are alike. So we champion innovative methods, like flipped classroom, project-based, cooperative learning... But also traditional ones, like lectures and tutorships. In live, remote, or blended modes.

We’re a team of experts in digital products and teaching. And we‘re fueled by one powerful belief:

the belief that everyone, everywhere, has the right to a life-changing teacher.

That’s why we made Leemons open source, free forever. And we‘re turning it into a profitable ecosystem through a software-as-a-service version an open content marketplace and premium services.

And now, what?

Dear Investors, VCs, Business Angels... If you, like us, believe everyone, everywhere, has the right to a life-changing teacher, then you’ll find investing in Leemons worth it.

Because the return comes in money. But it also comes in future.

As a finishing touch

Yesterday, one of our investors Alex Pallete sent us a quote from the great Seth Goding , uncomfortable, incendiary, accurate, so aligned with Leemons that we wanted to share it:

“Great teachers are wonderful. They change lives. We need them. The problem is that most schools don’t like great teachers. They’re organized to stamp them out, bore them, bureaucratize them, and make them average. Why?”
