About ChalkTalk

ChalkTalk is a platform for teachers to build, personalize, share & teach their real-time learning courses. 97% of teachers in the US assemble or write their own lesson plans & teaching materials—with no material relationship to the commercial curriculum. This takes up to 2.5hrs/day and the output is often one-size-fits-all. ChalkTalk enables teachers to build hyper personalized courses in under 2 minutes. We’ve built the network product for learning—GitHub for education—and it’s currently being used to power ELA and math classes in K-12 schools across the country. The current TAM from US K-12 alone is $12.5B but there are several verticals for our solution, beyond K12 education, collectively a $5T TAM.

The company currently has 35 employees.
