How do we help K-12 students hone their passions outside of the school curricula (e.g. learning to code their own video game instead of just playing them?) Founder & CEO and Forbes 30 under 30 Audrey Wisch has the answer - mentorship. Much like trailblazers before her like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg, Audrey dropped out of Stanford to found Curious Cardinals. The ed tech startup has become a runaway success mobilizing peers to inspire K-12 students to discover their passions. With her vision to unlock students' potential through personalized mentorship, she raised $700k in her first year and went on to raise $6.8m in venture funding. On this episode, she shares how she bootstrapped her idea, has helped countless students thrive in school and get accepted into top colleges, and how the future of AI affects how kids will learn indefinitely.
