Leap AI

Leap AI was started in February 2023 by Alex Schachne and Claudio Fuentes. Schachne founded two companies in the edtech space while he was at Johns Hopkins University. Fuentes, who has also founded a few startups previously, worked in companies like WeWork and Pypestream. Both co-founders met at the Founders Inc. Studio incubator program and started building Leap AI.“We were invited to the studio as builders while we didn’t have any idea. They asked us to get together and try and build something. We started building AI-powered consumer tools such as generating children’s stories for parents,” the co-founders told TechCrunch over a call.
