December 8, 2020

Michael Chasen (Founder & CEO of ClassEdu; formerly Founder & CEO of Blackboard) and I discuss the journey to starting Class for Zoom, a layer on top of Zoom for educators.

We discuss Michael's journey to founding Blackboard which he scaled to 3,000 employees, $300M+ in annual revenue, and the lessons that translated to starting his latest venture, ClassEdu. This new company is building a product called "Class for Zoom" which aims to solve the issues that schools are facing teaching online.
