The Learning Economy
Imagine a world where refugees are paid to learn skills vital to their resettlement. A world where American college students earn equity in their education, rather than take on hundreds of thousands in student debt. A world where school boards, corporations, teachers and more can get real-time feedback on their investment in education.
This is the world we are creating.
We experienced the growing pains of a system breaking; a system where learning opportunities abound, yet crippling debt and increasingly undervalued diplomas leave students lost and confused. This collided with the height of the crypto bubble and our imagination was unlocked, to think bigger and dream of a world we didn’t think possible.
From intimate retreats in the mountains of Switzerland, to the ramparts of Austrian castles, to the offices of some of the world’s biggest players in cryptocurrency, our journey has been full of reward and relationship. Through these relationships, we’ve cultivated a community of thinkers, dreamers, policy makers and technologists who share a passion for making change in global education. Our ambassadors, friends and collaborators are a vital part of what we’ve become.
Our goal with this publication is to create dialogue around the greatest challenges in education. With radical thought leadership, we’ll come closer to solving the global skills gap together.
Follow us as we strike forth and see the world for what it can be.
