Here for Kim Rants

Buckle up, cause I’m bout to tell you about Kim Rants – this guy is straight-up the real deal. So, he’s the co-founder and CEO of Alice.tech, a next-gen AI exam prep platform that just got into Y Combinator W25 – yeah, one of the few Danish startups to crush it into that elite club. That’s no small feat, especially coming from Denmark and making waves in Silicon Valley.

Kim’s based in SF but he’s got roots in Copenhagen too, running a team across the pond. Before all this, he was at McKinsey as an Associate Partner, deep into AI strategy – basically, the guy’s been around the block in corporate world and tech. He’s got two MSc degrees – one in Finance, the other in Computer Science with a focus on AI. Dude’s super smart but also super practical, which explains how he jumped from theory to building something that actually helps people.

Now, here’s the kicker – Kim’s been teaching university students for over ten years. Imagine that, right? He’s been deep in education, probably saw how shitty and expensive it is to get personalized learning solutions, and that lit a fire in him. That’s why he co-founded Alice.tech with Patrick Gadd – to make smarter, affordable exam prep accessible for everyone. Basically, he’s on a mission to shake up how we learn and prep for exams using AI.
