CEO & Co-Founder at LevelMeUp
LevelMeUp is an adaptive educational RPG that helps primary school children master mental maths through gameplay. Instead of interrupting play with maths questions, every correct answer powers the player's attacks, allowing children to defeat enemies, unlock new worlds, and progress through an engaging story while developing mathematical fluency.
Our mission is simple: Build the game children want to play and parents are happy to pay for.
