Education is one of those things everyone has an opinion about and nobody thinks is working well enough. The founders in this section agree, and they’re doing something about it. They’re building schools, platforms, tools, and programs that reimagine how people learn.
These interviews span the full education spectrum. K-12. Higher ed. Corporate training. Online learning. EdTech. Tutoring. Test prep. The kind of education that happens in classrooms and the kind that happens everywhere else. Because learning doesn’t stop when school does.
What makes these founders interesting is the variety of their approaches. Some are working within the system. Others are building around it. A few are trying to blow it up entirely. All of them have strong opinions about what’s broken and thoughtful ideas about how to fix it.
You’ll find conversations about curriculum design, student engagement, the role of technology in learning, and the economics of education. Which, it turns out, are complicated. Also the challenge of measuring outcomes. Because “did the students learn something” is a surprisingly hard question to answer well. If you care about education, these are conversations worth having.
