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.

We make consistent efforts to include and empower everyone equally, whether that's users, employees, or the Kumo community.

Self-Actualisation

Our goal is to help everyone see the best version of themselves they can be, and to become that version.

Learner Satisfaction

We aim to help learners at all stages have a positive, fulfilling, and satisfying education experience.

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

James Johns

Chief Technology Officer

Hi, I’m James, CTO of Kumo Study.

I’m the one behind the scenes building the platform, the browser extension, and everything that keeps it running, from the interface you see to the infrastructure underneath it.

Studying with ADHD isn’t just about willpower, it’s about the right tools removing friction before it becomes a wall. That’s shaped what I’ve built here: a full security overhaul to keep your data safe, an accessibility push toward WCAG compliance, and tools that understand how you actually study, from breaking down dense readings to keeping you on track when focus slips.

I’ve spent my career building software people rely on, across EdTech, e-commerce, and compliance-critical systems, and I bring that same standard to Kumo Study: things should work properly, not just look like they do.

If you need any assistance, or come across any bugs, let me know at james@kumostudy.com
