Take From the Rich, Give to the People, Big Data’s Robinhood

Big tech uses our data to pad their pockets. Facebook alone makes $42B a year. But modern-day Robinhood, $MODE, allows everyone to share in the profits. 45M+ users and $60M+ in revenue later, Mode prepares for an IPO.

Invest at just $0.26/share.

News of the Day

Brisk, an AI edtech startup, has raised $15 million to expand its suite of teacher tools, including a writing inspector that helps identify AI-generated content without making definitive claims. The San Francisco-based company, which has grown fivefold since its $5 million seed round in 2024, offers 40 AI-powered features, from grading assistance to lesson planning. Backed by Bessemer Venture Partners and others, Brisk plans to integrate with Microsoft in 2025 and launch a standalone web platform this year. Despite concerns over AI in education, demand from teachers is surging, signaling a shift toward AI-assisted teaching rather than replacement.
