Episode Synopsis
This Thanksgiving break, we wanted to share an episode from our friends at Fund/Build/Scale. As AI continues to reshape education, many are wondering how it will impact learning and what new skills the emerging workforce will need to thrive in this tech-driven landscape. We're sharing a fantastic episode from our friends at Fund/Build/Scale. It's a conversation with Nectir co-founder and CEO, Kavitta Ghai who shares how she transformed her frustration as a student into a fast-growing VC-backed edtech startup – building an AI-powered tool for the classroom. Kavitta discusses the leap from student to founder, how she built an AI tool without a technical background, and the tactics that helped her and her co-founder land paying customers early. She also opens up about navigating the venture world as a first-generation founder and reframing risk as a competitive advantage.
