Kosmic is revolutionizing education, starting with high-school education. As once students ourselves, we realized that most of the students nowadays lack a systematic way of studying, hence struggling to master materials effectively. We believe that in high-school, students can greatly reduce their time in preparing for exams given the right teacher and a systematic way of studying; we have an unwavering commitment to provide high-school students with the best resource to ace their exams, even at 2am. Our first step is building an on-demand examination-oriented video streaming service for high-school students. Next step, we need to make products that are more relatable, understandable and intuitive that they work for every student in every market, and making knowledge easy to access and master through our platform.
Kosmic has always been a design and product-driven company working on next-generation solutions for education. With one of the founders possessing years of design experience, it is the team’s belief that user experiences and designs on the platform are as important as the quality of knowledge on the platform. Our design team define how our students, teachers, and employees interact with our products. Based in Hong Kong, our team will reach global impact, with our work reaching students in London, teachers in New York City and partners in Singapore.
