Our story

We're building the LMS everyone in learning actually wants to use

Unik started in 2020 when a group of teachers, parents, tutors, corporate trainers, and engineers got tired of patching together six different tools to run a single classroom — or a single training program. We're a team of 30+ educators and engineers in Morrisville, NC and remote — backed by Prepaze, Inc. — building one platform that serves K-12 schools, tutoring organizations, and corporate L&D teams equally well, and respects every learner and instructor who uses it.

Our mission

Give every educator the time, tools, and insight to do their best work — and every learner the chance to reach their best outcome.

Built for everyone in the learning loop

One platform, five very different jobs. We design every workflow with the actual person doing the work — not a generic "user persona."

What we believe

Three principles that shape every product decision.

Learners and educators first

Every feature starts with someone — a teacher, tutor, corporate trainer, school admin, or learner — telling us what slows them down. Then we remove it.

Outcomes that matter

We measure ourselves by how much our customers' learners improve — not by feature counts or vanity metrics. Skill lift, mastery, time-to-productivity. That's the scoreboard.

Ship fast, listen faster

We deploy weekly. If something doesn't work in your workflow, we want to know within days — not quarters. Your feedback ships to production faster than at any LMS you've used.
