The founders of three startups that are already major players in the edtech space will be presenting a panel discussion in Dr. Ries’ class.  Mike Messner (net-texts.com), Jeff Levy (Office hours) and Jamie Caras (Sapling Learning, joining by video), will engage in discussion of how their personal experiences generated the ‘solution’ that became the start of their company.  They will also talk about how the idea grew into a product and the particular challenges and inflection points along their growth pathways.
