📝 About the Guest
Prynce Karki is the founder of Studyverse and the creator of MyMCAT.ai, an AI-powered MCAT prep platform that reimagines tutoring through empathy, gamification, and smart scheduling. A Rice University grad and former top-tier MCAT taker and tutor, Prynce took the MCAT four times—not out of necessity, but from obsession with improvement.

That obsession became a mission: to put a tutor beside every student, starting with pre-meds. He left his full-time job, dove into 80-hour work weeks, and built a product that’s outperforming billion-dollar competitors. With bold vision and relentless grit, Prynce is shaping the future of education—one empathetic algorithm at a time.
