What specific problem are you solving?
We are living in a complex and fast-changing world where 65% of school students will compete for jobs that don't exist yet, jobs that will require 30% more of use of social and emotional skills (SEL), such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. Despite the fact that schools have the mandate to develop SEL skills transversally, across subjects, schools are failing to develop those critical skills because designing and implementing activities that foster those skills requires time that teachers don't have: 46% of school teachers report a high daily stress.
This problem has a global impact. The SEL market is growing at a 24% CAGR, and Rukots' solution is estimated to have a $14 billion TAM opportunity by 2030.
What is your solution?
Rukots is an award-winning platform that helps schools develop collaboration, teamwork, and problem-solving skills in students, while learning math, language, and science. Rukots offers a portfolio of challenges that encourage students to collaborate, communicate, share ideas, practice active listening, and organize effectively to solve cases by applying their knowledge —building essential skills for the future of work (see Demo).
Through a B2B annual subscription for schools, teachers access a portfolio of challenges tailored to their class objectives. Rukots’ challenges take 40-60 min to solve and students engage with the platform via tablets and laptops in the classroom. Rukots' methodology—combining case-based learning, information asymmetry, and gamification—transforms traditional math, language, and science classes into engaging, dynamic spaces for personal growth (See Methodology).
Rukots is systematizing social-emotional learning (SEL) in schools by building the 'Netflix of Collaborative Challenges' (see Mission).

Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?
Customers: Schools | Users: Teachers and Students
Schools:
Schools have a mandate to incorporate social and emotional learning (SEL) across the curriculum. However, limited resources and the pressure to perform on standardized tests lead them to prioritize content over skills. As a result, schools are seeking cost-effective ways to integrate SEL into their programs.
Teachers:
Teachers are highly motivated by their vocation to equip students with critical life skills. However, heavy workloads and high stress levels impact teaching quality. The focus on standardized test preparation often leads to the neglect of skill development. They need solutions that simplify their teaching process and seamlessly integrate skills development into their classes.
Students:
Today's students have shorter attention spans and require greater stimulation to stay engaged. They also face challenges with social skills. However, as digital natives, they have a natural affinity for technology—an opportunity to enhance their learning experience.
Rukots’ Value Proposition:
For Schools: An affordable solution to meet the educational mandate of fostering collaborative skills.
For Teachers: A plug-and-play platform that simplifies teaching while promoting SEL—without adding to their workload.
For Students: A fun, engaging classroom experience that sustains attention and enhances learning.
