Layup was founded in 2013 by a small group of young and eager go-getters. With a background in Innovation and Entrepreneurship from Oslo School of Management and a bag full of (what seemed to be) crazy ideas, Fredrik and Tine set out on the task to change the perspective on online publishing. Now, two years in, the bits and pieces are aligning, the hard work and targeted determination is starting to pay off. However, that doesn’t mean it’s time to rest on those famous laurels. To be frank, that just wouldn’t be Fredrik and Tines kind of thing.

Bring your Own App (BYOA) is becoming a more common term around the workplace these days. More and more, teams are encouraged to work with the applications that they prefer, not the applications that are company sanctioned. This has created a barrage of applications that are used in our day-to-day, and multiply quickly, and potentially infinitely, if you work with multiple teams. But, more applications can mean less productivity because there are too many platforms that hold the context around a decision, or the decision itself. theGist brings a sense of order to the chaos of BYOA.
What is your solution?
theGist brings together the information you manage across multiple platforms, and multiple teams. Get context around a conversation that you missed, or a meeting that you weren’t a part of, quickly, and in a way that you want to absorb it.

Too many students struggle on exams, because effective study prep is tedious and time-consuming. Students also need to take notes quickly, in order to keep up with the lecture, but in a structured and organized way that allows them to easily find the important information later.
For non-students, it turns out that NimbleNotes is the perfect tool for organizing and retrieving lots of notes. This is the ideal platform for just organizing your thoughts, or documenting your entire knowledge base.
What is your solution?
NimbleNotes is an online note-taking and study platform, designed to help students learn more efficiently. Our digital notebook improves the learning workflow with unrivaled search and filter capabilities, instantly generated flashcard decks, and study session analytics.Every student wants neat, organized notes that make it easy to find the key information for each subject, and lots of quality study materials to prepare for exams. Unfortunately, creating these can be so time-consuming and tedious that many students resort to ineffective learning methods, like simply rereading notes or textbooks. Those that do tough it out end up wasting a bunch of time finding and copying information from their notes into physical or digital flashcards and study guides. NimbleNotes removes the hassle from this process, bridging the gap between note-taking and studying, and allowing students to focus on what’s important: learning the course material.
NimbleNotes features three key elements to improve a student’s learning workflow:
1. Our note editor uses a data-driven approach to organizing your notes, providing customizable templates that group related information for faster note-taking and consistent styling. We support multimedia notes, like images and videos, as well as content-specific notes, like LaTeX and code syntax (available soon).
2. The note filter helps you locate the exact information you need, anytime you need it. It also powers our unique study material generator which can instantly create entire decks of flashcards from your notes.
3. You can review these study materials in our built-in study tool which provides detailed reports and stat tracking for an optimized learning experience. Support for practice exams and additional study modes are coming soon.

I guess it’s no surprise that three guys hoping to improve the learning process all met at school. Tim and Kahmali have been close friends since the 7th grade at Boston Latin School. Anthony and Kahmali met in their freshman year at the University of Massachusetts, where they also spent multiple years tutoring Computer Science and Math to hundreds of college students. They’ve spent an unthinkable number of hours studying and learning together. It didn’t take long for Kahmali to see the benefit of bringing this team together. The three of them have worked together for years – at another SaaS startup, on many side projects, and now on NimbleNotes.Check out their individual bios below.
Kahmali Rose, CEO – Kahmali is the heart and soul of NimbleNotes, keeping the project on track and the team motivated. Acting as both a programmer and project manager, he contributes to every feature, reviews every bug report, and continuously engages with the community. He’s technically still a Computer Science and Math undergrad at UMass Boston. You can contact him directly at [email protected].
Timothy Hicks, Chief Design Officer – Tim makes up the eyes, ears, and right hand of the NimbleNotes team. Equipped with a strong sense of design, a background in the arts, and years of user experience training, he keeps NimbleNotes looking and feeling perfect for every user. Tim studied Industrial Design at MassArt. You can connect with him directly at [email protected].
Anthony Reid, CTO – Anthony is the brain of NimbleNotes, tackling our most advanced technical challenges with ease. Although he’d never admit it, he’s the wizard responsible for all the magic of NimbleNotes. He recently graduated from UMass Boston with a degree in Alchemy…sorry, Computer Science. You can reach him directly at [email protected].

Transparency in productivity tools haven’t filled the promise that decision makers be more informed. Instead it’s information overload. The world needs Sushi Status because quick and accurate project communication is the difference between a company who fails or succeeds. We have a information problem, both in timeliness and relevancy that teams are going back to meetings and phone calls. Sushi Status fills the middle ground where summaries are important in a tool that causes no disruption in teams or clients workflows. Sushi Status is making teams more efficient and business leaders more effective.
What is your solution?
Sushi Status helps Project Managers create status reports clients and teams create will actually read.Anyone who runs a project that gets reported to a team or C level people, generally has a problem with communicating the status of that project. It’s through phone calls, in person meetings, spreadsheets, spiral bound books, tools like Basecamp and JIRA, etc. Whatever the form factor it ends up being a waste of time and money and results in a lot of people not having the information they need to make important business decisions.
Sushi Status solves the problem by integrating with the tools teams use and allowing the Project Manager to send a perfectly designed and organized email. This means that CEO could get timeline updates and red flags, a CTO could get velocity on an agile project with epic completion numbers and CMO could get a list of to-do’s yet to be done.
Liaisons can basically get the right information to the right people and not worry about changing anyone’s workflow or making the teams sign up for another login.
