NEO was founded in 2006 by Graham Glass, the CEO of NEO and a serial entrepreneur with a track record of innovation. Graham used to teach Computer Science at the University of Texas at Dallas, and founded two training companies, so deep familiarity with the features that teachers and students need is in our company DNA. NEO is a product of CYPHER LEARNING, which also provides an LMS for businesses called MATRIX. NEO and MATRIX are used by over 20,000 organizations around the world (we support 40+ languages), have over a million users, add about 15,000 new users a week, and are both profitable without any need for external investment.
