SubSchool

Lev Kerzhner, Alexey Glukharev, Tereza Hurtov, Maksim Kokoshihin, Maksim Mamchur, and Klara Minarikova looked at education and said "there's got to be a better way." They're building SubSchool, an all-in-one teaching platform that uses AI to automate the repetitive drudgery that eats up teachers' time—grading, lesson planning, administrative busywork, all that stuff that has nothing to do with actually teaching.

SubSchool serves teachers, students, schools, and even businesses, which means they're playing the long game in edtech. They're currently rolling out an updated version based on early feedback—always a good sign when a team listens before scaling. Six people on the team and they're already trying to tackle one of education's biggest inefficiencies. That's either brave or naive. Maybe both.

The edtech space is crowded with half-baked solutions and expensive enterprise platforms that nobody asked for. SubSchool is trying to be the middle ground—AI-powered enough to actually help, simple enough for individual teachers to actually use. We'll see if they can pull it off.
