We explore the value of group learning, a key component of the Guruumee app. If you’re in a group of people, you never want to be the odd one out. So, without even realising it, you adopt similar behaviour to the other people in your group. When you apply this concept to learning, that’s when the magic happens. You want to do what everyone else is doing in order to achieve a particular objective. You eventually find that you adopt similar behaviour to get you to where you want to be.
This is a huge project that you would normally expect to see developed by a team of coders, but GuruuMee is trusting just one person with this task: Quinn, our ace developer. He’s confident that he can conquer this task on his own, and he’s sure that he can do so in a timelier and more effective manner than a development team. He’s just that good.
At GuruuMee, we want charity to be a part of our DNA, woven into the framework of the app so the satisfaction of doing good follows users every step of the way. That’s why a portion of all transactions will be donated to various good causes that aim to better people’s lives.
