Our story starts with a struggle.

Our story starts with a struggle.

An idea was born while Mike, one of our co-founders, dedicated thousands of hours in the classroom. As a young, forward-thinking educator, he always looked to ways technology could support his classroom and students’ learning. He experienced first-hand how much time and mental energy was spent working on administrative tasks related to lesson planning, staff scheduling, and IEP paperwork.

His story is not unique. Teachers across the nation are operating in day-to-day burnout. We envision another way. Mela Mela emerged from Mike's experiences, long-form conversations with fellow educators, and a commitment to ensure that those who dedicate themselves to this vital work can continue to make a positive impact without sacrificing their work-life balance and well-being.
