A new EdTech startup in Memphis Tennessee is hoping to revive the stigma, fun, and “accidental learning” that came from software titles back in the day like “Where In The World Is Carmen San Diego”.
The company, called KnoCo is based in Memphis Tennessee. CEO and lead developer Ken Gibbs met co-founder Elliott Boyette while the two were working for a company that develops iOS games.
