About Medly

We\’re on a mission to change education forever.

Since launching 4 months ago we\’ve created an iOS app that has retention rates better than that of Duolingo, with over 30,000 MAUs.

Over 24,000 sat these exams and the Webapp has over 50,000 MAUs. We achieved all this at an insane pace and we\’re looking for someone ambitious to join us on our current stage of exponential growth.
