Persistence pays off.

We built Brainscape for ourselves first.

Our founder, Andrew Cohen, created the first version of Brainscape as an Excel macro in 2006, to study French verb conjugations more efficiently. The Excel program became so popular that Andrew later pursued a Masters in Education Technology & Cognitive Science from Columbia University, and made Brainscape his thesis project. The research confirmed that using spaced repetition alone can more than DOUBLE our learning speed.

This is Andrew either speaking about Brainscape, or at karaoke—it’s definitely from 2006.

We are obsessed with self-improvement.

At Brainscape, we embrace challenge. We know that everything worthwhile is earned with hard work and sacrifice. It can be messy. Sometimes it hurts. But we remember that every expert struggled at first. They succeeded by building consistent habits, reinventing themselves with constant experimentation and deliberate practice. True willpower requires you to stare down the evil that wants you to quit —until one day, you have become the expert you used to envy.

Our team is diverse and 100% distributed.

No two Brainscape employees work in the same physical location! Our fully remote culture allows us to maintain fantastic work-life balance while still developing an efficiency of communication of which other companies would be jealous!

We want to work with you.

If you are an expert in any subject, you might be a candidate for creating a certified class to publish in our Knowledge Genome.

We are also always looking for smart resellers and anyone else with ideas for advancing our obsession with optimizing the learning process.
