Our Founding Story
The idea behind Thea came from our founder, Baker, a rising senior in high school. Baker saw a market gap … he believed that there were “no good study applications”. Enthusiastic about all things technical, he started programming his own.
​
When Large Language Models emerged, he signed up the first day and integrated AI into his developing program. He envisioned and prototyped a platform that could do all the busywork needed to start studying (flashcards, summaries) and dynamically tutor high schoolers and even PhD candidates! Baker designed Thea to serve learners with questions and explanations of increasing complexity to prioritize understanding rather than memorization.
​
In what Baker (jokingly) refers to as a hostile takeover, Baker agreed to let his father, Anthony, join him. Anthony would be the first of a team of experienced technologists and educators drawn to Baker’s vision. After taking a year off to work full-time as a Software Engineer at Thea, Baker returned to finish high school at Saint Albans School.

Why We're Called "Thea"
Thea draws its name from Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and reason, embodying our mission to empower students with the tools they need to excel academically.​
​
Thea's ability to tackle challenges efficiently mirrors the strength and strategic thinking Athena represents. With Thea, students can 'get The-A' and master their studies with ease.
Get "The-A"
One of the reasons we’re called Thea is because we’re all about helping you get “The-A”—as in acing your exams with ease! With our trusted AI, you can create study kits in seconds and say goodbye to those all-nighters.
