Hi, I'm Sophie, a startup founder.

I'm one of the co-founders & CEO of Polymath.

Polymath imagines a world where the most exciting digital experience for kids is one where they can learn in a self-directed, integrated, expansive, and exciting way.  We’re starting with maths (check out the OECD rates and you’ll see why) but we won’t stop until kids don’t need to go to school anymore (they probably still will).

I graduated from UCL in 2019 with a B.A.Sc., where I studied across multiple schools – from architecture to mathematics and business to philosophy. One of my key interests was psychology, specifically the areas of human learning and memory and developmental psychology. My dissertation considered the ways in which chat interfaces could assist in communication with individuals who are suffering from depression and isolation, combining my study of psychology with language and technology.

In 2020 while working as a business analyst in London, I started Polymath with my co-founder. It was born out of frustration with an outdated and exhausted education system that was resulting in declining attainment rates, driving us to build an evidence-based learning algorithm that fills in the gaps that are being left behind.

By 2023, we’d both quit our “proper” jobs to launch in schools, and by 2024, Polymath had helped over 40,000 students worldwide make maths fun. We're starting an evolution in the way children learn.

Outside of Polymath and time with family and friends, my downtime can be represented by my Spotify, Goodreads, Letterboxd, and Strava profiles which sadly often show a great deal of neglect. I'm also a passionate but out-of-practice artist and someday I hope to return to illustration, documentary photography and filmmaking.
