Why We Built Raava

In Kazakhstan, if you want to study at a top US university, you need a great SAT score. The problem? Quality SAT prep costs $5,000-15,000 at local tutoring centers, or requires expensive trips abroad.

We lived this reality. We saw talented friends give up on their dreams because they couldn't afford test prep. Meanwhile, students in Silicon Valley had access to $300/hour tutors and endless resources.

When AI became powerful enough in 2023, we saw an opportunity: what if every student could have a personal AI tutor that's available 24/7, costs $10/month, and actually adapts to how you learn?

That's Raava. AI-powered test prep that levels the playing field.

Student Obsession
