Enabling college students to build skills for success in the classroom & workplace
Knack seeks to maximize the impact of peer tutoring on student success on college campuses. We do this by providing colleges a central dashboard to manage and scale their peer tutoring programs as well as providing students a beautiful consumer-facing application to easily connect and meet up in-person and online. We partner with some of the largest colleges in the U.S. and have thousands of students and college administrators relying on us every day.

At Knack, we believe that direct peer-to-peer learning has the potential to unlock every student's potential, and we believe by leveraging technology and partnerships with organizations, we can ensure tutoring is accessible for all students.

Knack is located in sunny Tampa, Florida and is backed by top-tier Silicon Valley investors including Jeff Vinik (Owner, Tampa Bay Lightning), ETS (creators of the GRE), Precursor Ventures, Miami Angels, Bisk Education Ventures, Elysium Venture Capital, and Arizona State University Enterprise Partners.

Our 21st-century platform has been featured on Inc.com, Forbes, TechCrunch, EdSurge, ELearning Inside, Entrepreneur.com, USA Today, and many other well-known publications/media outlets. Our team has won numerous awards including the 2019 Lumina Foundation’s Education Innovation Prize, UF’s Big Idea Business Plan Competition, Village Capital’s 2018 Education Program, the 2015 Thiel Summit Pitch Competition, and the 2017 1776 Challenge Cup.
