Company Information: XUMBRUS, LLC

History

"Ex Umbris" in Latin means "out of the darkness". The founder of Xumbrus, Johnathan Mercer, realized a market void in academic writing software while writing a paper in college many years ago. He has since decided to pursue his dreams of helping students. Today, Xumbrus software is used in 15 countries by high school, undergraduate, and graduate students. What started as one student's idea has evolved into a product that will become the "writing handbook of the 21st century."

Mission & Values

Our mission is simple: to create software that will have a positive impact on the lives of students around the world. We hope to create software that maximizes student writing potential because we value the ideas and perspectives they bring into this world. We strive to create this software because we know that technology can combat the increasing demands of educational systems thereby increasing the quality of education.
