Both Sides of the Table
MAY 4, 2013
I tapped my friends at big tech companies (Salesforce, Google, Oracle). There is one source that was always problematic for me – intros from investment bankers. This is no criticism of the investment banking industry (although I’m sure some will read it this way) for which there are very useful purposes.

For each of these, there is a human element (non-scaleable) and the possibility of a tech layer (which any one VC will only have implemented to varying extents). I’m very interested in additional ways to use technology to extend each of these! with the announcement of a funding round, new senior hires, etc.

When I met my now-wife, I realized that any technology that can find me a spouse is a killer app. I’d argue that the same type of technologies that have revolutionized dating can revolutionize our industry. . I walk through below how progressive investors are using technology and analytics throughout all of their operations.

The story of why I started an education business is mostly due to growing up in a household of educators. That means that if you enroll in one of our courses, we want to make sure that you receive a tangible benefit (make more money, get a promotion, get hired, save in your training costs, etc) in the shortest amount of time.
