In this episode of Founders’ Tales, we sit down with Alesia Razumova, founder of Studypop, a mobile first study platform built specifically for students with ADHD.
Alesia shares the personal story behind the business, inspired by her brother’s experience navigating higher education with ADHD and the challenges of burnout, procrastination, and executive function. That experience shaped her mission to build a study system designed around how neurodivergent students actually learn.
She discusses how Studypop evolved from an early concept into a full scale platform with goal based learning, auto scheduling, and analytics, as well as the realities of building as a solo founder while self funding and running another business.
The conversation also explores Boston’s startup ecosystem, the value of accelerators and founder communities, and the importance of progress over perfection when building something meaningful.
