EdTech Start Ups

Building Scalable Learning Solutions for the Digital Age

 I have provided curriculum architecture and assessment consulting for multiple EdTech startups, helping them build scalable, structured, and pedagogically sound learning solutions. My work spans from designing foundational learning frameworks to working closely with startups to refine their team processes and curriculum strategies. I have worked as both a consultant and an integral part of EdTech teams, ensuring their curriculum and operations align with high-quality standards and business goals.

Founding Team Member & Laureate at WhiteHatJunior Math

 As a founding team member, I played a crucial role in developing the MVP, which focused on teaching mathematics using real-life scenarios. 

• Problem: A startup developing a math learning product needed a curriculum and quality expert to refine its offering and ensure a successful launch. The challenge was to create structured lesson plans, establish quality benchmarks, and build a feedback-driven system for continuous improvement.

• Solution: As part of the founding team, I played a key role in building the lesson plans, structuring quality processes, and reviewing lessons for alignment with learning objectives. I later transitioned to an individual contributor role, solving issues across multiple areas such as learning design, teacher training, and post-teaching lesson reviews. Additionally, I set up cross-functional teams to ensure seamless collaboration between teachers, trainers, and the curriculum team.

• Impact: The structured curriculum and quality review process led to a refined, high-impact math product. The startup’s strong learning architecture and scalable systems contributed to its acquisition by a major conglomerate, validating the effectiveness of its pedagogy and market potential.

Scaling Strategy for Unmath

• Problem: A startup founder wanted to scale his company but found that his team leads were overly reliant on him, leaving him with little time for business development. The company needed a structured approach to make team leads more independent and improve overall operational efficiency.

• Solution: I joined as an individual contributor, working closely with the team leads while streamlining processes. To reduce dependency, I introduced a structured workflow where the founder initiated each project with a clear email briefing to both the team lead and me. I coached the team leads to refine their processes, enabling them to work independently, and enhanced content quality through brainstorming and problem-solving. Additionally, I overhauled the startup’s curriculum architecture into structured frameworks and introduced project management strategies to improve efficiency.

• Impact: The transformation was significant—according to the founder, the company expanded from 400 to 5,000 schools. By saving 95% of his operational time, he was able to shift his focus to business development, accelerating the company’s growth.

Learning Design Mathematics for Luma World

• Problem: The startup wanted to create an engaging mathematics learning platform using games but lacked a clear curriculum architecture to integrate educational content effectively.

• Solution: I designed a comprehensive curriculum architecture based on Bloom's Taxonomy, structured around gamified learning. I also managed a team of freelancers to build the entire content structure, including worksheets, game-based activities, and assessments.

• Impact: The startup successfully launched a gamified math learning platform with a robust curriculum, improving user engagement and learning outcomes for students. The curriculum became the foundation for their educational product.
