Our take

The education sector struggles to provide equitable, accessible learning support, especially for underserved students., Many learners face challenges due to limited resources, creating achievement gaps that desperately need targeting.

Paper is tackling this issue with 24/7 personalized tutoring through its GROW program. By offering interactive tools, career exploration, and post-secondary planning, Paper now supports over 3M students in building the skills they need for academic success.

The company had a turbulent 2024, marked by leadership changes and layoffs. However, it is turning a corner, with the recent appointment of a new CEO, the company is ready to stabilize and rebuild, positioning itself for growth once again.
