Marker Learning offers remote learning and attention-disability evaluations and ongoing support, leveraging proprietary technology and a network of psychologists and educators. The company delivers comprehensive diagnostic reports within one month that can be submitted to schools or employers and used to secure test accommodations. Marker partners with school districts to act as an extension of special education teams and already reaches 1 million students through those partnerships. It aims to provide services at a fraction of the cost of traditional private evaluations—which can cost up to $14,000 and have waitlists beyond 24 months—to improve equity for students of color and low-income households. With Series A funding, Marker plans to expand into new geographies and broaden its platform to include tutoring, coaching, and other learning support services for individuals and schools. Co-founders Stefan Bauer and Emily Yudofsky, both diagnosed with dyslexia, lead the company. The company announced a $15 million Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz. Marker Learning operates a telepsychology platform that enables psychologists to virtually administer evidence-based learning disability assessments and deliver personalized action plans. The company partners with leading psychologists and learning-disability specialists and leverages proprietary technology to streamline the assessment process, reduce cost, and decrease turnaround time versus in-person services. Evaluations for dyslexia and other learning disabilities often cost over $10,000 and many cases go undiagnosed; Marker aims to make gold-standard assessments more accessible to schools and families. The platform was developed to address long waitlists and access issues that were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Marker plans to use new funding to expand its team and accelerate geographic expansion across the United States. Co-founders Stefan Bauer and Emily Yudofsky started the company after their own diagnoses and bring experience from McKinsey, Google, and telemedicine entrepreneurship.
