An Ottawa-based startup that’s helped more than 30,000 students complete essays, book reports and speeches is preparing to write a new chapter of its own after being acquired by Vancouver online learning platform Wize.
EssayJack was launched in 2014 by Lindy Ledohowski, a former high school English teacher and university professor, with her husband Rueban Balasubramaniam, an associate professor at Carleton University’s department of law and legal studies, after seeing students persistently struggle with essay-writing.
The startup rolled out a web-based app that provides templates, frameworks, tips and prompts to reduce stress among students when they sit down in front of their computer by “making that blank screen less intimidating,” Ledohowski told OBJ in an earlier interview.

That struggle is on display in an Ottawa courtroom, where an order by a Superior Court Justice may illustrate the hazards of prioritizing both parents’ involvement in raising a child over many other issues, even potential safety concerns. “Parental investment by both parents is very good for the kids,” said Rebecca Bromwich, an adjunct professor with Carleton University’s department of law and legal studies.
