Future of Edtech: Scaling Up Pedagogy

I’ve taught programming as a hobby occasionally to kids, to old people, to finance and law students and my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gym buddies, and there hasn’t been a single student who failed to grasp it, because when one teaching method doesn’t work on you, I can keep adapting until you learn. I understand what can go wrong at every point in your learning, and I can use that knowledge to craft a learning experience that works for you.

Knowing which teaching method to use is a wisdom called pedagogy, and I’ve become an entrepreneur because I wanna live the rest of my life figuring out how to scale up pedagogy, to help anyone learn anything as long as they’re curious.

To do that, I think we need to rethink edtech on multiple levels (not at the same time):

1. Organisation
2. Team
3. Business model
4. Product
5. Distribution
6. Human-in-the-loop personalization
7. Content loop

Organisation

There are attractive companies in every industry that people, from senior talent to high school grads dream to join. Entertainment has Netflix and Spotify, Transportation has Uber, Lyft, Grab, etc., Security has Palantir, Space industry has Nasa and SpaceX, Social Networks have Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin etc., Tech in general has Google and Apple and etc., and so on.
