Dr. Rod Berger speaks with Zach Posner, Co-Founder & Managing Director at The LegalTech Fund about the shifting culture of entrepreneurs and investor relationships.

Any entrepreneur faces risk when starting out, but Zach and the LegalTech Fund look for those devoid of that expression, those who know a 'little secret' about the world that nobody else has realized. That confidence comes from subject matter expertise, not elevated risk tolerance. As the world morphs, so does the type of talent which will succeed.

In this conversation Dr. Berger navigates the world of early stage start-up investment and what makes the best investment opportunity. From an entrepreneur perspective, it's curiosity, persistence, and agility that's needed. From the investor, it's empathy and Zach having been on all sides of the table, brings that in buckets.

Join Dr. Berger as he investigates the interplay of early stage companies and early stage funds and how, at least at The LegalTech Fund, the entrepreneur is treated with respect and the relationship built on support and compassion.

Dr. Rod Berger speaks with Keith Oelrich, CEO of learning.com, a K-12 digital skills education platform, yet one looking to expand to 'skills for life'.

Digital skills are a critical component of any student's learning journey, now more than ever. As we move to digital content and digital instructional we're presented with the opportunity to test and assess program efficacy, something not possible in our recent textbook days.

In a time where millions of jobs are set to be lost to the digital revolution, digital adoption in education couldn't come any sooner. As a nation we lack digital problem solving, a potential security issue when considering the pace of proficiency in China and beyond, yet the outlook from 2022 onwards is bright.

Keith and Dr. Berger analyse the current digital education landscape and learning.com's position within this ever growing world, and what it means for ever more large scale players entering the market.
