The Founder Story

A faceless founder, a very real problem.

No influencer, no startup guys chasing a trend. Just a student who got tired of being punished for having a life outside of school.

01
Where it started

The 2am zero

Built by a student working two jobs, going to school full time, and still trying to fit in the gym. Assignments slipped through. Canvas never sent reminders. A mental note at lunch was gone by midnight. Sometimes that meant emailing a professor begging for another chance. Sometimes it meant taking the zero.

The founder

Why faceless

The name does not matter. If you have ever opened Canvas and felt your stomach drop at three things due yesterday, you already know the founder. This app was not built to make someone famous. It was built so the next student does not have to send that email.

03
The fix

What Nudge is

One app that connects to Canvas and does the remembering for you. No juggling calendar alerts, no five different apps, no setting up countless reminders by hand. You live your life. Nudge handles the reminders.

04
The model

That is the whole promise. From one student to another.
