GradeWiz, co-founded by Cornell undergraduates Max Bohun and Aman Garg, is an AI teaching assistant aimed at improving grading efficiency for educators. Recently accepted into Y Combinator's Winter 2025 Batch, the startup has been developed over two years, piloting their technology with various universities. The founders emphasize the balance between providing timely feedback to students and alleviating the grading burden on professors, illustrating their understanding of multiple perspectives in education. Their participation in eLab helped secure funding and enhance their entrepreneurial skills, crucial for their startup's growth.
GradeWiz uses AI and computer vision to grade homework and exams, giving educators more time to devote to teaching, while enhancing students' feedback.
The founders of GradeWiz have that rare ability to pursue their product vision while constantly adapting to market needs, showcasing exceptional entrepreneurial skills.
This is a multifaceted problem that affects people in various ways. We thought, maybe we can use this technology to solve the problem.
