About us

Our mission at Kumo Study

Our mission is to combat the executive dysfunction burdens placed upon individuals with ADHD in their work and study life. We aim to give people with ADHD the tools they need to overcome productivity loss, burnout, academic failure and dropout rates, and more.

We are pioneering a product that brings inclusivity into education and the workplace through action rather than mere words, being the first to do so.

Our vision is to be at the forefront of inclusive technology and pave the way for future information and learning management systems to be inclusive of all learning types.

Kumo Study cares about your potential.

We know that with the right support, you can achieve the best version of yourself every day.

Meet Our Founders

Alex Kerr

Founder & CEO

G’day everyone! I’m Alex, the Founder of Kumo Study.

When I was at university, I found that tasks such as citing sources, ordering notes, planning essays and organising research took so much longer than it needed to. I found that there weren’t that many services out there that looks at simplifying and streamlining university work from the perspective of the student.

As university moves to a more permanent hybrid model, it is now more important than ever to make sure students have the resources they need to succeed. An important part of this venture is our focus on helping students with ADHD stay focused, on task and achieving their academic goals.

85% of students with ADHD will drop out or fail a course during their time at university. I want to help combat this issue by giving these students tools they need to thrive. If you have any questions, drop me a line at alexandra@kumostudy.com

Gabi Mendelski

Co-Founder & Head of Product

Hey folks! I’m Gabi, the Co-Founder and Head of Design of Kumo Study.

Very early in my life, my noisy head became curious about minds, behaviours, and everything that makes us unique. Since then, I have come to understand that neurodiversity is our common factor, also that no experience is individual, just as no solution is universal.

I believe that through flexible and inclusive solutions our potential becomes exponential.

At Kumo Study, my job is to make things intuitive, motivating and effective. And we do this through research and feedback. If you want to contribute to us and make Kumo the best tool, share your ideas via gabriela@kumostudy.com

Jack Reichelt

Co-Founder & CTO

Hi! I’m Jack, the Co-Founder and CTO of Kumo Study.

I was only diagnosed with ADHD when I was already several years into my career, but once I learned more I looked back and saw all the ways it had impacted my life.

I saw that many of the struggles I had were exacerbated – if not outright caused – by ADHD. I combine this with my experience in the EduTech and Education spaces to drive me to help as many students and learners as possible both understand and manage their ADHD.

At Kumo Study, I work on the technical side of things, building the platform, implementing features, and ensuring it all runs as smoothly as possible. If you need any assistance, or come across any bugs, let me know at jack@kumostudy.com
