ScrollEd wants to turn textbooks into TikTok
Article image or reusable cover for TechCrunch AI
ScrollEd is an app from Palo Alto that transforms textbooks and PDF files into an Instagram- or TikTok-like feed.
Instead of students opening a textbook, ScrollEd converts the content into video clips, audio, text, and interactive quizzes that users scroll through. Swiping up reveals a new topic, while swiping sideways lets you explore the current topic deeper. The startup was founded by two Stanford and Penn students, Utsav Gupta and Rebecca Neff, who are married and noticed they felt dissatisfied after doomscrolling before bed. The company targets schools, corporate training, and individuals, using a freemium model where institutions pay annual licenses to distribute content through the platform.
But what if the solution isn't to stop scrolling, but to rethink what we're scrolling through?
