President & Co-Founder
Arielle Nash
A dedicated student and innovative entrepreneur committed to democratizing artificial intelligence—making it accessible and beneficial for poor, working class, and struggling middle class communities.
Privilege Weaponized for Justice
Arielle Nash was raised with every advantage her father never had. She graduated from Pembroke Hill School—one of Kansas City's most prestigious private college preparatory institutions. She studied abroad in Japan. She interned on Capitol Hill. She speaks three languages fluently.
She could have chosen any path—comfort, prestige, personal advancement. A clear road to any career she wanted stretched before her.
"Instead, she chose service."
The Transformation She Witnessed
Growing up, Arielle watched her father transform not just his own life, but their entire family. She saw him convert his mother's small house into a classroom, tutoring his three older brothers until all three enrolled in college for the first time. She witnessed her grandmother earn her GED at 55 and pursue a college degree.
When her grandmother passed away in 2003—a junior in college at the time of her death—UMKC posthumously awarded her a Bachelor's degree. Arielle understood that her own opportunities existed because someone broke the cycle.
At nineteen years old, she co-founded a company with her father dedicated to creating the same transformation for others.
