Business Idea

Most students around the world give up on their career dreams due to standardized tests. In Italy, 82% of students can't enter med school while in America 50% of students do not enter the first college choice. The main causes are: insufficient test preparation, lack of organization and methodology and use of obsolete material.

Starting in 2020 as Accademia dei Test, to help prospective medical students pass their admission test, today Futura has evolved into a platform for AI-based test preparation with a 75% success rate. The platform categorizes users into 5 different levels and it is able to create customized courses and tests based on users' weaknesses (using their past errors), thus increasing and optimizing learning. The personalized course is then planned according to the needs and commitments of the students with a connection to Google and Apple Calendar and adapted as individual learning progresses. The platform includes a Community where each user can compare their score with that of others, making learning a challenge and a game.

Futura's platform uses artificial intelligence and leverages supervised learning algorithms to assess the difficulty of questions and preparing the student. The platform classifies the questions based on: the amount of mistakes made by users; the time spent looking at the questions; and the amount of times users change their responses. Based on this then categorizes users into 5 different levels and generates new tests, matching students' level and proposes lessons needed to improve individual performance.

Currently the solution is vertical on the Italian tests of Medicine, Dentistry and health professions in Italy. Where we are one of the major players on the market. After a first class on GMAT we are working on new products to launch internationally with an initial focus on the United States.
