ProSolve
In 2009, a high school student was using his smartphone to take notes in class. His phone was confiscated because school policy was "no phones allowed".
That student was our Co-Founder, Travis Allen. He disagreed with the policy and created a viral video to show the world how technology could enhance education.
Travis saw a significant need to improve and support education. New tools, information, and technology were coming out every year, and schools were struggling to keep up.
He founded ProSolve in 2012 with Arvin Ross to modernize schools and create a new type of learning environment; one that challenged the status quo, and positioned students as problem-solvers and lifelong learners.
