Company mission
To ensure mathematically extraordinary students from all communities have the resources they need to reach the frontiers of math and science.
Our take
Some kids are math whizzes from a young age, but without the right support, their talent often goes unnoticed. Furthermore, many families don't have the resources to keep these kids challenged and growing.
National Math Stars (NMS) is helping, by finding top 2nd and 3rd grade math students and supporting them through high school. The company does so by offering them an impressive $100,000 in free coaching, classes, STEM trips, and family guidance.
Its a very exciting venture and one that's gaining traction. With strong results in Texas, the company is now expanding to Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin. With students already achieving big things, it will be interesting to see the company continue to grow.
