LighSide Labs
Education startup, LightSide Labs, just announced that the company has been awarded a $25,000 from the Gates Foundation to further develop their machine learning platforms that instantly assess student writing. Based in Shadyside, LightSide was founded by two language technology experts out of CMU who saw a unfilled niche in writing education. The local tech startup was one of only 29 companies to be chosen by the Gates Foundation to receive funding as part of the Literacy Courseware Challenge.
