Tutoring services seem like a dime a dozen, so most of them are pretty unremarkable. Solve X 4 U - a Cambridge-based startup that launched today - does not fall in this aforementioned category because it is striking, to say the least.
If you check out the company’s parodical (and borderline uncomfortable) video, you’ll know why Solve X 4 U stands out. The startup provides 24/7 assistance with math and science problems, but it’s branding itself as a late night adult hotline. The 900 number theme is carried out throughout the FAQs and social media accounts. It’s amusing.
Joking aside, Solve X 4 U is a legitimate homework help business. According to the startup’s website, they can help with problems pertaining to a wide range of difficult STEM subject areas, including statistics, accounting, economics and chemistry. Depending on how many customers they’re servicing, Solve X 4 U will come to your aid within about 24 hours, so plan your homework assignments accordingly.
Also appealing, the first problem is free of charge. But any additional ones that take more than 10 minutes to solve can cost you. How much exactly? You name your price, and they negotiate with you.
I know if I were a student, I’d be submitting problems to this startup not only for help, but also for the entertainment factor.
