🎯 Our Mission
Linus is on a mission to make studying for the SAT fun, effective, and affordable for all students.
Over 2 million students take the SAT each and every year - the most important test of a young person’s life. But outcomes are highly inequitable, with affluent students able to afford high-priced private tutors while others have to rely on borrowed and out-of-date textbooks.
Linus is determined to close this equity gap and bring effective test prep into the 21st century.
🦄 What sets us apart
Fun. Effective. Affordable. Linus combines the latest science and a game-like experience to create a compelling SAT adventure that results in higher scores, more confidence and greater access to a better future for all students. Read more about our approach here.
🌱 Stage
Linus is a seed-stage company with a v1 product live at https://linusprep.com. We are bringing on a Head of Growth who will be the first growth hire and who will own all of our growth channels in both B2C and B2B.
Linus is well-funded by Owl Ventures, the world’s largest edtech investor with $2B AUM.
🤝 Founders & Team
Linus was founded by serial entrepreneurs Niko Vuori and Cory Johnson. They have raised more than $20M in funding from top-tier investors across the companies they have founded and have a successful exit with Rocket Games in 2016. They are joined by a team of early-stage enthusiasts who love going from zero to one (and then blasting way beyond 🚀).
🌈 Opportunity
We’re looking for a Head of Growth to join the core leadership team, lead all of Linus’s growth, and help millions of young people gain access to a better life.
