Outschool’s mission is to inspire kids to love learning. We believe the best way to do that is by linking learning to kids ’interests (make it fun!) And giving them the autonomy to pick their own path. We provide small group classes that meet over live video chat where learners are connected with teachers and classmates who share their interests. These classes are offered through our marketplace and conducted on our remote learning platform.
We’re growing fast: over , 12 learners have enrolled in classes, and we’re doubling our team this year. We’re an experienced team with past accomplishments at Airbnb, Square, Uber, Udemy, Amazon, Google, and many startups. We came together because we wanted to make a difference in education, and saw the opportunity to empower learners, teachers, and parents. Now we have a successful, fast-growing business and recently announced $ 8.5M Series A funding .
