Reading.com
Reading.com is a phonics app a parent and child use together. Its 120 scripted lessons take about 15 minutes each, so a parent with no training can teach their kid to read. It is #2 in the App Store’s Kids 5 & Under category and a top-3 grossing app in Kids.
Teaching.com
Teaching.com makes Typing.com, Nitro Type, and Reading.com. I joined in 2016 as its first hire, and since then revenue has grown 50x and the team has gone from 2 people to 40. I built six functions from scratch (product design, analytics, marketing, curriculum, people ops, and legal) and hired the leaders who run them now.
Earlier
Before Teaching.com I spent ten years designing software, including Code School and TrueCoach, both later acquired.
