Jordan Liss
Founder
The idea came to me when I was getting ready to take my own college entrance exam. I noted a need for a simple yet unique tool for students to supplement test preparation, reduce anxiety, and properly pace their time in the exam room. My goal was to create a product to be on the market by the time my younger brother would need it. My mission was simply to make a positive impact on the wold and students' lives. Starting from just an idea, I have been able to build a proven and reliable product that ultimately helps students achieve their potential and succeed. In addition, we have been able to acquire a patent, file for our own patents, rebuild our entire brand and target market, and build an important relationship with both ACT and College Board to ensure the use of the watch.
