Scott Tonges, co-founder of Teach Starter, explains how the education technology company is coming to the rescue of teachers, parents and students around the world.
It’s raw, it’s real, it’s unKEMPt – a podcast for founders, investors and entrepreneurs hosted by Queensland Chief Entrepreneur Leanne Kemp, the founder and CEO of Everledger.
This week, Leanne talks to Scott Tonges. Scott and his wife, teacher Jill Snape, are the founders of Teach Starter, an EdTech company that creates preschool to year 6 teaching resources, saving teachers hours each week when preparing for class and helping to create a real buzz in the classroom.
Scott explains how Teach Starter went from an email to a subscriber database to a thriving community with more than 140,000+ pages of resources; scaling up and taking Teach Starter around the world; and the challenges of breaking into the US market.
Then, in this week’s Leannesplaining segment, Leanne explains product market fit, and why timing is everything for start-ups.
UnKEMPt is hosted by Leanne Kemp and produced by the Office of the Queensland Chief Entrepreneur and The Content Division. Like what you hear?
