ScrollEd turns textbooks into TikTok-style feeds
A Palo Alto startup wants to replace static textbooks with scrollable, social-media-like course materials.
ScrollEd, a Palo Alto startup, is reimagining the textbook as a scrollable feed similar to Instagram or TikTok. Instead of static pages, students would move through course material with video, audio, and interactive quizzes built into the flow.
The company was founded by student co-founders Utsav Gupta and Rebecca Neff, who are also spouses. They are presenting their pitch at TechCrunch Disrupt, where the startup is seeking attention from investors and the broader edtech community.
This report is based on a single source, so there are no independent accounts to compare. Still, the core idea is clear: make educational content feel more like the social platforms students already use.
