ClassDojo is a feedback platform used by over 40 million teachers, students & parents in more than 150 countries to help students develop the character skills and behaviors they need for success in life - things like persistence, resilience and curiosity. ClassDojo is one of the world's fastest-growing education technology products; it currently reaches 1 in 3 schools in the US, and is scaling globally fast. Research shows that building behaviors like persistence, self-control and curiosity have a huge effect on test scores - as well as on incomes, health outcomes and dropout rates. So how do we create an education that not only builds academic knowledge, but also the character strengths that make people successful in life? That's what we're here to accomplish. ClassDojo is backed by some great investors including Paul Graham, Ron Conway, Jeff Clavier, Yuri Milner, Matt Ocko, General Catalyst, Shasta Ventures, Felicis Ventures and others.

Wonderbly is a unique, award winning startup that lives on the intersection of storytelling, engineering, digital and print. We are building a new class of global publishing business that brings millions of people into our superbly high quality products - as co-creators and audiences - and in doing so empower them to build connections with each other. We’re calling it Personal Publishing and we believe it’s going to be massive. Our focus in the near future is with the children market where it all started - creating stunning, uncompromisingly high quality and technically ambitious personalised books for kids. You see, we’re not in the children’s book business. We’re in the business of sparking kids’ imaginations and inspiring boundless self-belief. That might sound a bit over the top, but we truly believe that imaginatively personalised stories are one of the greatest ways to make a child feel loved, unique and capable of anything.
