Why Build Here

TL;DR: What you get by building on Timeback

| Benefit | What it means | |---------|---------------| | Distribution without BD | Reach Alpha School students and every context the platform serves | | Skip the infrastructure | Identity, rostering, progress, analytics, motivation — handled | | Know your impact | Closed loop proves your app produces real learning gains | | Proven model | Alpha School validates the approach; your app inherits that credibility | | AI-first platform | Build with AI-native tools, not around legacy systems | | Early mover advantage | Shape the platform, get the deepest distribution |

Building effective edtech is hard. Distribution is harder. Proving outcomes is nearly impossible. Timeback solves all three. Build the learning experience. We handle the rest.

​

Distribution without BD

Your app reaches students the moment it’s approved. No sales calls, no pilot programs, no waiting for procurement cycles. Timeback powers multiple deployment contexts: Build once. Reach all contexts. Your growth is locked to platform growth — as Timeback scales, so does your audience.

​

Skip the infrastructure

Every edtech team rebuilds the same plumbing. On Timeback, you don’t. What you build: the learning experience itself. Focus on instruction, content, and outcomes. The commodity infrastructure is shared.

​

Know your impact

Most edtech can’t prove it works. You can. Timeback’s closed loop connects in-app activity to standardized test performance. Your app emits learning events; the platform correlates them with real assessment gains. When learning fails, the data shows where. Iterate based on evidence, not intuition.

​

Proven model

Alpha School is not a theory. Students complete academics in two hours, then own their afternoon. Outcomes are measured continuously against external standardized tests. Your app inherits that credibility:

• The same platform
• The same learning engine
• The same closed loop

You’re not asking schools to bet on an unproven approach. You’re extending a system that already works.

​

AI-first platform and tooling

Timeback is AI-native. The platform uses AI to generate content, personalize instruction, and adapt pacing at scale. Developer tooling follows the same principle: Build with AI, not around legacy systems. The platform is designed for how you build now.

​

Early mover advantage

The platform is early. That’s the opportunity.

• Influence the roadmap — your needs shape what gets built
• Deepest distribution — first apps get the strongest positioning
• Tight partnership — direct access to the platform team
• Set the standard — early integrations define best practices

Build now for maximum leverage.
