Yup (fka MathCrunch) offers a chat-based mobile app that instantly connects students to experienced math, physics, and chemistry tutors on demand, 24/7. Tutors deliver one-on-one help without requiring scheduled in-person meetings; they receive ongoing training and bi-weekly feedback from senior tutors. The company plans to use the new funds to grow its user base and further develop its Personalized Inquiry Learning™ framework. Yup says the framework is intended to address the cheating problems seen among online tutoring services. As of this round the company has raised $7.5M in total funding. Yup was founded in 2014 by Naguib Sawiris and is based in San Francisco, CA.
