WriteWise is a New Zealand-based edtech company providing AI-powered tools for NCEA and HSC subjects, making quality feedback and learning support accessible to all students.
I'm Leon Grootscholten, founder of WriteWise, and this is my story:
WriteWise started early in 2025, with an idea, and a passion for education. Throughout the year, hundreds of hours were spent consulting students and teachers to refine our product and make it what it is today.
WriteWise quickly gained recognition by winning the 2025 Velocity Ideas challenge, securing a grant that enabled continued development. This early validation helped accelerate our growth, leading to rapid adoption by schools throughout New Zealand and establishing WriteWise as a trusted tool relied on by students across Aotearoa.
