StudyWise was founded in 2024 by ri Nurieli (28), CEO; Chen Berger (27), COO and CRO; and Guy Aronson (28), CTO.. The three launched the company during the early months of the war, while simultaneously serving as officers in Israel’s air defense system and in a classified unit. The idea for the product arose from their observation of widening learning gaps and rapid technological change, coupled with the rise of AI in education.

StudyWise developed an AI-based platform designed for educators and academic institutions, enabling the creation of personalized assignments and tests based on existing course materials. The system automatically grades open-ended questions and essays, a traditionally time-consuming task and a major bottleneck for teachers and lecturers. It also identifies knowledge gaps and offers personalized recommendations to help each student improve their learning outcomes.

Educators can manage the entire assessment process through the platform, which provides full visibility into student performance. The system integrates seamlessly with existing Learning Management Systems (LMS) and offers an intuitive, accessible user experience.

The company operated in bootstrap mode, without raising external capital, and in less than a year organically gained over 150,000 users worldwide, working with leading institutions across multiple languages and regions. StudyWise collaborates with major players in the education space, including Microsoft Education and CET, and has participated in accelerators such as MindCET, 8200 EISP and Meta AI. The company currently works with a diverse range of clients, including ORT Israel and The Academic College of Tel Aviv–Yaffo, as well as pilots at international universities such as the University of Turin, schools in the U.S., and distributors in Southeast Asia.
