About
Casper came out of academic work on whether people skills can be assessed at admissions scale; Rich Emrich co-founded the company with two academics he was introduced to by a former boss, and ran it as CEO. Growth came from medical schools first: by January 2018, three years in, it was assessing over half of US medical school applicants, and it later spread into other health professions and geographies as far as Australia. The company acquired One45, a medical education software company, in August 2021, and renamed itself Acuity Insights in 2022 to cover the wider platform. Matt Holland succeeded Emrich as CEO in January 2024.
