Joining us on The Deep End today is Ryan Delk.

Ryan is the CEO & Co-Founder of Primer, a startup creating a new education system for children, centered around microschools. Last year, Primer announced that they’ve raised $15M in new capital. Ryan previously worked in Growth + Partnerships at Gumroad, and then joined another marketplace company, Omni, and became COO.

In this conversation, we explore where the inspiration for Primer came from, how Primer is overcoming regulatory barriers in the space, and why Ryan believes the best education system is a world-class teacher in as small an environment as possible.
