Desmos, Inc. (San Francisco, CA) was founded in 2007 by Yale undergraduates and incubated at the Yale Entrepreneurial Institute until start-up funding was secured.  The company develops and markets software that makes technology more useful for teachers and students.  Desmos is building a common platform to allow educators to create lesson plans that will work across electronic whiteboards (“smartboards”), tablets (such as iPads), computers, and other devices from multiple manufacturers.  The Company provides other software that runs in any browser, offering virtual whiteboard capability for remote, real time collaboration, teaching, and tutoring, and software that permits tutoring companies to manage their resources and client interactions.  Desmos offers additional browser based software, such as a graphing calculator.  Elm Street’s co-investors in the seed round include Mitch Kapor (founder of Lotus 1-2-3, sold to IBM) and Learn Capital.
