Literal
Helping Teens Discover New Stories with the Power of AI
Literal was created to develop a new generation of engaged readers. While teenagers spend hours on their phones but minutes reading books, Literal aimed to change this by creating a reading platform that felt as natural as texting. When students couldn't find familiar titles in our library, they stopped looking for alternatives. The solution? Leverage AI technology to connect students with thousands of great books in our existing library.

What people say
[Nate was] the catalyst to help me and the entire [Emmersion] leadership team do the hard work of becoming more clear on our specific objectives and targets, and how we plan to achieve them. He [was] consistently the biggest force for enacting our strategy of "Customer Obsession"…

CPO, Emmersion
Nate consistently went out of his way to support my growth and development. He taught me how to thoughtfully approach the process of developing a learning course, from identifying users and learning objectives to defining clear learning outcomes.
Laney Kawaguchi
Director of Student Work Experience, V School
Nate consistently demonstrated remarkable expertise in educational innovation, always seeking ways to improve our existing resources and support team growth…His guidance was instrumental in my professional growth, making Nate not just a director, but a true educational leader who inspires and empowers those around him.

When we talk about the value of grit, we often dismiss its cost. Grit is uncomfortable; it chafes; it blisters; it exhausts. It's hard to display on your own; it's even harder to display in a highly collaborative effort when it's easier to relent and appease. I'm confident that without Nate's grit the polish of the [Emmersion] rebrand wouldn't have the same shine.
