    E20 – From Classrooms to Curiosity: AI & The Future of Learning with Katelyn Donnelly

    We sit down with Katelyn Donnelly, founder & Managing Director of Avalanche VC. A longtime operator in education and social-impact consulting, Katelyn now backs early-stage AI and ed-tech startups reshaping how—and why—we learn. We cover: - Ed-tech vs. learning tech. Why the biggest breakthroughs often skip the classroom and go straight to the consumer. - Motivation over personalization. The real bottleneck isn’t better content—it’s sparking curiosity and keeping learners engaged. - AI’s dual role as both a teacher’s aide and a “homework cheater" and why that might not be a bad thing. - How VR math sims, language-learning avatars, and AI-powered sales floors demonstrate the next wave of learning-by-doing. - What jobs and university majors might look like in an era where the largest school in the world is YouTube.
