TeachPitch celebrates its first birthday on World Teachers Day
We became one year old today on October 5th, 2015.
There is no point in lying to you; 1 year of being operational in start-up land feels like 20 years in the normal world.
So many great things have happened this year as we got to work with the best team ever, met countless of amazing people, had the opportunity to partner with great organisations, received the support of amazing investors and – most importantly – had thousands and thousands of teachers signing up to our platform.
Each and every day we are inspired by educators from all over the world who register to find the best of learning.
Our dream started in the summer of 2014 when we were given the opportunity to execute on our idea. With an early proof-of-concept in hand we soon bumped into Erion and Endri who took a chance on setting up the right TeachPitch team equipped to further build out our solution.
The backing of this dynamic duo led to the continued interest of one amazing investor for who the word ‘Angel’ does not merely capture the grandiosity of his actions. Stephan’s unconditional support, vision and funding led us to grow into a direction that we did not even dare to dream of.
The team grew very quickly and with the support of absolute tech gladiators like Linda, Ani, Ana, Areti, Klodiana, Jalta, Ilda and Tekla we were able to build the most imaginative features in no time.
On the product end we received the unlimited commitment of our absolute data genius Chris and, commercial brain extraordinaire, Jamie.
The highlights over the past year are countless from becoming one of the EdTech20 to getting accepted in the WISE Accelerator. From being able to work with amazing schools and institutions (soon to be announced) to being acknowledged as 1 of the 100 most influential EdTech leaders in the world – and, we promise you, this is just the beginning.
In the near future we will be focusing on further helping teachers in their natural habitat: the school. We will expand our offering from individual teachers to departments, schools and school districts and will continue to concentrate on helping all educators to work with the best learning material available.
We are massively looking forward to continuing our work in the midst of education and hope you will join us so all can effectively learn more and teach better.
Please do not hesitate to send us an e-mail via info@teachpitch.com should you have any further questions or ideas.
Thank you very much for your support for all of us to learn more and teach better.
