MILWAUKEE, May 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Fiveable, a social learning community for high school students, has acquired Hours, a virtual studying platform. In the last week, 400,000+ Fiveable students studied together for upcoming exams through live programming and engaging community spaces. This acquisition now allows them to create single and multiplayer study rooms that increase motivation and accountability as students connect with peers working towards the same goals.
Sixteen-year-old Calix Huang founded Hours in October 2020, seeking to help students increase productivity by connecting them through virtual study rooms while at home during the pandemic. Currently a high school junior in the Bay Area, Huang has held software engineering internships and professional contracts at a variety of tech startups such as Hack+ and eXomoonAI. He is also the founder of Launch Tech LLC, which incubates student-focused ventures like Ortexo, NPO Core, and w3Hacks, all of which were acquired by NovaCrypt. As part of Fiveable's acquisition, Huang will join their team as a Lead Product Manager to accelerate the growth of Hours.
