About us | Genio

Today's learners face more challenges than ever

We all know learning unlocks opportunity. But too little attention is paid to helping individuals become better learners, and most are left to figure it out on their own.

When students do not believe they are capable, or when the process feels overwhelming, they disengage.

That leads to worse academic performance, which erodes confidence, and creates a sense that learning is not for them.

We call this the disengagement cycle, and we’re here to break it.

Our history

Genio’s story began over 15 years ago with the launch of our first audio-based note taking tool for neurodiverse learners.

Our founder, Dave Tucker, has spent his working life exploring how technology can be used to tackle learning challenges and expand what’s possible for every learner. In developing our first product for neurodiverse students, he worked closely with learners who were being left behind because they couldn’t keep up in lectures.

In 2020, we launched Glean Notes, a new note taking product designed from the ground up. It has now supported over 160,000 students across more than 1,000 institutions worldwide. But note taking was just the start. With Genio, we’re applying everything we’ve learned to a broader range of opportunities to increase learning success.
