Our take
One in five American students has a learning disability and while a proper evaluation could be one of the most impactful events in these students' lives, only 4% receive a diagnosis because of the high costs involved and the lack of access to the appropriate psychologists. Undiagnosed students are more likely to drop out of school, fail to find a job and subsequently suffer from mental health issues.
The current learning disability support system is broken and Marker Learning is setting out to change this, by making critical learning disability evaluations and support more accessible and affordable. The startup is leveraging technology developed by experts at John Hopkins to provide evaluations in half the time and at a fraction of the price.
Having already reached a million students through school partnerships, Marker Learning is rapidly growing and raised $15 million in 2023. It announced its expansion into multiple new services as well, including tutoring and coaching. The startup is backed by some of the most mission-driven venture capital firms in the industry and with their help, it plans to continue scaling its partnerships and expand into new geographies.
