StudyFetch

AI study platform that turns uploaded lecture slides, PDFs, and videos into flashcards, quizzes, and notes, paired with a chat-based tutor called Spark.E.

StudyFetch was founded in 2023 by childhood friends Esan Durrani and Ryan Trattner, who built the company while still in their early twenties; both have since been recognized on Forbes' 30 Under 30 list. The Los Angeles-based startup raised a $10 million round in April 2025 followed by an $11.5 million Series A in June 2025 led by Owl Ventures with participation from the College Board, bringing total funding to roughly $21 million, and the company reports close to 6 million users. StudyFetch's product converts course material a student already has — lecture slides, textbook PDFs, recorded videos, even handwritten notes — into flashcards, practice quizzes, summarized notes, and short explainer videos. Its AI tutor, Spark.E, answers questions grounded in that uploaded material rather than the open internet, and a live-lecture mode listens in real time to help students follow along without transcribing everything by hand. The company markets itself toward high school, college, and professional-certification learners rather than K-12 classrooms.
