Quill.org Cofounder Awarded “100 Most Intriguing Entrepreneurs” Award by Goldman Sachs

Quill.org is proud to announce that Goldman Sachs is recognizing our Executive Director, Peter Gault, as one of the 100 Most Intriguing Entrepreneurs at the 2017 Builders + Innovators conference held in Santa Barbara this fall.

Goldman Sachs honored one hundred innovative entrepreneurs in the U.S. and beyond for two days of provocative speakers and high level networking. Along with Quill.org, the participants included the CEOs from Squarespace, Warby Parker, Andela, the Skimm, and CloudFlare, among others.

Gault said the experience solidified his belief that business leaders recognize the need to develop online tools that promote informational writing. “It was exciting to connect with world-class innovators who understand that the people they hire need to engage the world through writing — weighing ideas and debating them. Coding is important, computational thinking is important, and clear and precise writing is the third leg of that cognitive triumvirate,” he said.

Gault said he returned from Southern California with new energy to grow Quill.org to meet the demands of students of the future. “The tools we are developing for classrooms are free and open source. The demand is beyond what we could ever have imagined.” This year, Quill.org is on track to be used in thousands of schools and impact over a million U.S. students.
