Edutech! When students partner up with the best operators in their field, radical change takes place. Education meets internet creators, through Wes Kao’s Maven platform.
Education is one of the last multi-trillion dollar markets virtually untapped by tech. Why? Because very few innovators out there can see the potential. But Maven can, and it’s just raised $25 million from a16z and First Round.
Joe and Wes discuss how Maven’s 10 instructors are already making $100k+ for a 3-week online class, why world class creators like Pomp, Li Jin and David Perell are offering hyper-tactical lessons, and how new audiences no longer need gatekeepers deciding who can and can’t teach.
Wes gets into mini-apprenticeships, learning from creators at the top of their game, and how Maven is unlocking an army of internet native professors with a cohort ready to learn.
The education revolution is happening.
