Outsmart College

🚨 Hiring Alert 🚨 Join our ex-Duolingo mafia and help reimagine higher education. Roles are based in Los Angeles.  🧑💻 Senior or Staff Fullstack Engineer  🖥️ Engineering Leader If you’re interested or know someone who might be, please reach out! ... and here's a poem written by ChatGPT. In LA’s glow, where dreams ignite, A team of builders, bold and bright, Set out to craft, with code and mind, A way to leave old schools behind. No dusty books, no rigid halls, No droning lectures, lifeless calls— They dreamed instead of minds set free, Of learning shaped by destiny. With passion fierce and hearts held high, They chased a future reaching sky. Through late-night sparks and dawn’s debut, They built what no one dared to do. Each line of code, each plan they drew, A vision fresh, a future new. A chorus rose from desks aglow— “We’ll shape the world in what we know.” Investors watched with widened eyes, As whispers turned to battle cries. A company born, not brick but dream, A wave, a force, a daring theme. So here’s to those who break and build, Whose hands with boundless hope are filled. In LA’s pulse, they rise, they thrive— The future’s here. The world’s alive.

Excited to share the TechCrunch piece today announcing our $13M Series Seed round led by Khosla Ventures with participation from Lightspeed, Latitud, Lenny Rachitsky, 20VC, Karman Ventures and other friends. https://lnkd.in/dBcRK2sZ We're looking for top engineers and designers to join us on this mission. If you're interested in joining us, get in touch at careers@outsmartcollege.com. To stay in the loop, sign up at outsmartcollege.com! Our mission is to make higher education (aka college) significantly more accessible and equitable, worldwide. Higher ed is one of the few industries that has changed very little in the past few decades while tuition has grown astronomically (~160% in 25 yrs, adjusted for inflation), as has outstanding student debt ($1.7T). At the same time, most job openings in the US require some college education or degree (65%) and this is only projected to increase.
