Listen Later

Today I speak with Nicolò Bates, Founder & CEO at TEDU

Nicolò has a background in finance and economics with a focus on corporate strategy. He first started the concept of TEDU in 2016 while attending the University of Miami where he completed his BBA in Economics. TEDU is an EdTech company company with an enterprise platform built to integrate and partner with universities and other educational institutions worldwide to provide them and their students a suite of out-of-classroom academic resource utilities. 

Nicolò and I discuss how and why he pivoted from a potentially lucrative and interesting career in finance toward a purpose-driven career in EdTech, in particular the two situations that profoundly impacted his career ... we chat about 

  • the problems he and TEDU are solving for,
  • rising student fees,
  • the need for after hours tuition support,
  • the virtuous circle that is supplemental instruction,
  • the sheer importance of data and the enormity of TEDU's potential impact,
  • Higher Education as a patient industry, and
  • what lies ahead, an optimistic future for the sector.
  • Nicolò is delightful. He's smart, industrious and driven. He is just the sort of person we want tackling the mega challenges of our time, most specifically in education. Watch this space, there's a lot to learn from this young man. Now I bring you, Nicolò Bates.
