Dear world,

As someone who faced the challenges of navigating through traditional education systems, I understand firsthand the need for change. Thirty days after I graduated high school, the iPhone launched. It revolutionized how we interact with the world, yet education has remained largely unchanged for centuries. Building Stemuli has been a personal journey for me; I earned a Division 1 scholarship to play basketball in college, only to lose it due to a lack of math skills and preparedness for a degree in pre-medicine. That experience was a wake-up call, igniting a fire within me to address the educational inequalities I faced and knew others, with even less access, would encounter.

At Stemuli, we’re driven by the belief that every individual, regardless of their background or circumstances, deserves equitable access to education and career guidance. Picture a society where education isn’t just a privilege for a select few, but a fundamental right for all 8 billion people on this planet. Stemuli is on a mission to empower individuals to realize their full potential and pursue their dreams, no matter where they come from or what challenges they face along the way.

With love,

Taylor Shead
