Alex started a nonprofit at 14 to teach English to students in rural China, scaling to 1,500 students across 20 schools while in high school. He dropped out of college to pursue a nutrition startup before pivoting to join one of the most exciting EdTech startups of the past few years, Mentava. Now, at Mentava, he's working to revolutionize education by giving agency back to students and parents.
