What is Edzy?
Edzy is the company I am building to make learning more engaging and effective, especially by blending strong pedagogy with product craft.
Topic Hub
Building Edzy
Edzy is where a lot of my founder thinking becomes concrete. This hub gathers the posts that are directly tied to the company, the mission, and the work of building a product that genuinely helps students learn.
The Edzy story is the most direct window into what I am building now, what I care about, and how those beliefs show up in actual product and company decisions.
