Details & Back-story:
LORE, which began its existence as CourseKit (check-out this short animation explaining the pivot), is a hybrid LMS, course creation, and social networking platform for students, instructors, and lifelong learners.

It was founded by three former University of Pennsylvania undergrads, Joseph Cohen, Dan Getelman and Jim Grandpre, who recently dropped out to devote their time to fully running LORE. All of the founders, who are in their early 20's, view their age as an asset in their industry and cite their team's core values as ranging from "be[ing] an artist" to "eliminat[ing] distractions and simplify[ing] everything."
