Outsmart, founded in 2024 by former Duolingo executives, is building a new collegiate experience designed for the age of artificial intelligence. The company's stated mission is to reimagine higher education by expanding access and opportunity for students worldwide, grounded in the belief that college-level education is a fundamental human right.
The company has raised $38M in funding to develop AI-powered learning experiences within the higher education vertical. Its approach centres on democratizing access to university-level instruction through technology rather than traditional campus infrastructure.
Headquartered with a global outlook, Outsmart operates across multiple geographies. The organisation describes itself as mission-driven, drawing on its founders' experience scaling educational technology at Duolingo to tackle what it views as systemic barriers in higher education.
