Yael: As technology continues to rapidly change, we all must learn more, faster—that is true for everyone from K-12 students to employees in the workforce. Businesses spend a tremendous amount of money on training for their employees, and increasingly more in recent years to close the skills gap. We built Learn In to help companies unlock their greatest asset—their talent—by rethinking education benefits and removing the barriers to learning for everyone across an organization.

Sharia: I am trying to build more partnerships between investors, non-profits, schools and startups across developing countries so that those local entrepreneurs can thrive and build their communities. For example, one of my recent in-the-works partnerships is between a non-profit, a school system based in Haiti, and a solar wind company. The goal is to bring solar wind energy into developing countries so that students can have access to the internet. With access to the internet comes information and with information comes ideas—so future entrepreneurs can give back to their country.
