About us
YES! I love that you're here.
I enjoy reading the 'about us' of new companies, and I have written up what I hope is a good read.
Let's begin.
We're on a mission to democratise learning
We believe education is fundamental to social mobility - but high-quality, personalised education is out of reach for many.
In today's world, the ability to fully express our capabilities is still reserved for the fortunate few who have access to personal tutors and high-quality study materials.
This makes access to many aspirational professions - like the legal profession - reserved for the few who can access and afford the prerequisite resources and education
We want to level the playing field, using technology like AI to bring highly effective education to anyone looking to change their life prospects.
We’ve just begun this mission - with an initial focus on helping people achieve their professional qualifications. As we prove the product, we will expand into other areas of education and learning.
We're creating a world where every person can fully express their innate capabilities - irrespective of background or circumstance. We're not the full solution, but we're a part of it.
Hi, I'm An 👋
I’ve been on the C-suite of two VC-backed, award-winning scale-ups in Europe.
One was an incredibly impactful micro-finance company called Bima, which brought financial stability to families and individuals in emerging countries.
The other was a fantastic childcare tech company called Koru Kids, focused on helping whole families flourish through brilliant childcare.
In both these roles, I experienced first-hand the incredible impact that the use of technology can have on delivering impact, at scale, to individual and family wellbeing.
Before my ventures in using tech for good, I worked at the Boston Consulting Group for 5 years across Australia, Asia (incl. Bangkok) and Europe.
In another life, I also dabbled in fin-tech, and am a self-declared financial-modelling and spreadsheeting nerd.
I also act as a strategic advisor for high-growth companies across Europe.
To create Bear the Bar, we work with specialist collaborators for the Bar - drawn from academics, educators, colleges, qualified professionals and candidates.
