Dear Professor Chow,

I am Akshay from Acadly - a class participation and communication tool that's free for professors and students. I'm writing to you and some of your colleagues to introduce the product and invite you for an online discussion.

Acadly is a smart classroom tool that works inside and outside the class. It is a combination of many firsts among edtech products, such as:

• Live polling and quizzing with no limits on class size
• Class instant messenger with support for LaTeX and attachments
• Realtime tracking of student engagement with your content
• iOS and Android apps, with all features included

Acadly is built to save professors the time they spend on using multiple edtech tools. It is among EDUCAUSE's top 15 edtech startups this year, and over 500 professors have signed up for it already. A promo video, comparison with alternatives, user testimonials and feature list are available on the Acadly home page. If it looks interesting, I'd be glad to connect with you or send you a demo video - as is suitable for you.

Thank you,
Akshay Kotha
