  Sunnyvale, California, United States Lexibl is AI powered software that lets anyone read 3X faster. I’ve been running companies my whole career, and one of my biggest problems in my day to day was the fact that I’m dyslexic. It would take me way too long to read, comprehend, and respond to vital content. And we all know speed is a critical ally of startup founders like me, So I decided to use AI to solve my own problem.

I’ve been running companies my whole career, and one of my biggest problems in my day to day was the fact that I’m dyslexic. It would take me way too long to read, comprehend, and respond to vital content. And we all know speed is a critical ally of startup founders like me, So I decided to use AI to solve my own problem. I developed a way to help break down long text into bite-size chunks, to help my eyes focus, and remove distractions. It’s based in neuroscience and deep research, and found there was a remarkable improvement in my results. So then I asked myself the question … how many other people are having the same problem as me? Turned out… way more than I thought. 1 in 3 people have some sort of disorder that makes it challenging for them to focus (dyslexia, ADHD, anxiety, etc). But after doing more research, it became clear that the technology I’d built didn’t just help affected readers, but it could help literally every person on the planet. So I decided to create Lexibl. The product is a plugin that can make any text come alive and can help increase reading and comprehension. Show less
