#StartupSpotlight Congrats on this milestone Boost team!

[Josh Owens @joshuadowens]

We finished pre-launch tests this spring at Boost. We sent 500,000+ boost reminders to thousands of students for assignment due dates. We know when & why students fall behind. It’s clear students (& parents) need help keeping up & we’re launching nationally this fall to help! 🎓
