our origin story
From the Dinner Table to America's Youth
We're Holly and Daniel, the founders of SkillZIlla, but more importantly, we are parents! With six teenage boys under our roof, we understand the joys, struggles, and absolute chaos that comes with raising young adults. Our story is woven from countless family dinners, road trips, and late-night conversations.
Our journey began in the hustle and bustle of our own home, somewhere between laughter, sibling rivalries, and a never-ending pile of laundry.
We realized that while our boys were growing up fast, they needed more than just traditional education to prepare them for the future. They needed life skills, resilience, and a strong moral compass.
What started as an idea to help our sons soon took on a roar as friends, families and community members heard our idea to deliver life skills education to young adults through a gamified and competitive app.
And so, this business was born out of our commitment to providing all children with a solid foundation for their future. (And save them from making some of the mistakes we've made)
Join us on this journey!
