It’s actively used in over 95% of US schools, reaching over 50 million children in 180 countries, with a team of just around 200 people [1]. We are now beginning to use this network to give kids the best learning experiences in the world, far beyond those a standard school can provide.
We hire for talent density.

You proactively share your work, even if it’s still in progress, bringing the team along with you. You have a sharp ambiguity filter, always seeking to clarify what is unclear for yourself and for others.
- You are a strong product focused strategic thinker: you thrive in identifying and refining product problems to solve. You have the ability to think about high level product strategy and you have a vision for how data can help drive that strategy.
