Imbellus builds simulation-based cognitive assessments to evaluate how people think, instead of what they know, for use by employers and the education system. Eventually, we'll replace standardized tests like the SAT, ACT, SAT Subject Tests, and AP exams.Imbellus is a team of Learning Scientists, Game Developers, Data Scientists, and AI Engineers backed by Owl Ventures, Thrive Capital, and Upfront Ventures. We're designing immersive simulation-based assessments that evaluate skills becoming more critical in the changing world of work -- skills like problem-solving, inquiry, analysis, and imagination -- through a theoretically grounded and data-driven process. By measuring what matters, we seek to influence what is valued and taught to the next generation. For more on Imbellus, check out our website or some of the materials linked below.
