Nick Nash and Phalgun Raju co-founded Morph.org as their family initiative in 2015 to have an impact in the area of education. Inspired by the story of Ramanujan, they started partnered a pilot program with PROMYS in 2015. Nick and Phalgun have been in technology and investing over their careers and were the beneficiaries of outstanding educational opportunities and meritocracy in the USA as 1st generation immigrant kids in the 1980s.
With a strong interest in Education and Meritocracy, the Ramanujan Project was started in partnership with PROMYS to find and fund the first four genius fellows in Math from India after lots of grassroots efforts to spread the word of the program to potential candidates.
