Founder's note

We're Akshat and Zohair, the founders of uphop.ai. We each spent 7 years at Google helping build wildly impactful learning apps, and growing Workspace for Education to 180 million active users.

Akshat was lead Product Manager for Google Classroom through its most aggressive growth phase. Zohair founded Read Along, through which millions of underprivileged children learned to read. We've always been driven by such deep societal impact.

When the AI boom hit, we together founded Google's AI efforts in Education.

But we were worried about the impending threat to society from AI taking so many jobs, faster than any tech revolution before. How would we all adapt and defend against that? We need to learn more advanced job skills faster, but it's easier said than done.

Could we each get a personal tutor to help us with this learning? Expert at any subject, available 24/7 for any questions, affordable. With AI this is finally possible, and so we left Google to build it as uphop.ai.

Join us on our mission of universal upskilling: together we'll succeed no matter what the job market throws at us in the coming years.
