About
One founder. One problem. One architecture.
Standards-based grading is the largest unmet need in K-12 education technology and the one thing no legacy LMS was built to support. Fixing it is not a product patch; it takes a greenfield architecture. That is what Hologram is.
Aaron Jenson
Founder and CEO
Built Hologram solo using AI-augmented parallel development. The product's cognitive loop runs mostly on structured data operations; LLMs are used for natural language where they belong.
Company
A small company with a narrow thesis.
Hologram is focused on one hard problem: turning standards-based grading into infrastructure teachers and districts can actually operate.
