Peterson Ventures’ Post

In the linked article below for Utah Business, I wrote a little bit about why we're so excited to be partnering with Caleb Hicks and the SchoolAI team. Since the pandemic, average test scores for reading and math for K-12 students have declined across the board. Study after study shows that students receiving one-on-one tutoring display accelerated learning and achieve higher test scores, but historically delivering one-on-one tutoring is prohibitively expensive and not scalable. By harnessing recent advancements in AI, SchoolAI has built the first scalable solution that can provide a one-on-one, personalized education for every student. After launching the product less than a year ago, hundreds of teachers are signing up for the platform everyday and hundreds of thousands of students are using the product daily. They are signing large contracts with leading school districts, attracting a terrific team, and are poised to build the leading AI platform in a massive industry (the US government spends $800 billion per year on K-12 education). As a former junior higher teacher and repeat tech founder, Caleb is uniquely prepared to build SchoolAI. We couldn't more excited to be partnering with him and the SchoolAI team on the journey ahead!
