In this episode, we speak with Amir Nathoo, the Co-founder and Head of Outschool, a community marketplace of live online classes for kids.

In 2015, Amir founded Outschool with Nick Grandy and Mikhail Seregine. The company’s mission is to inspire kids to love learning by providing them with innovative learning opportunities outside of the regular classroom. The classes are offered by independent teachers and take place in small-groups over live video chat with assignments and feedback between the live sessions.

Outschool has raised over $240 million from notable investors including Tiger Global, Coatue, Lightspeed and others.

Prior to Outschool, Amir was a product lead for Square Payroll and a software developer for IBM. His passion for writing software started at a young age and he strives to find technological and social levers that can drive positive change in the world.
