Dunce Deals is the best way to stay in touch with what is happening in the startup ecosystem for edtech and the future of work. I invest in pre-seed companies in the space and previously started three companies - NetGravity (IPO’d), Rocketship Education (20,000 students) and Zeal (sold in 2018). I am on the board of Lambda School, have 25 investments in edtech and future of work and spend 30 minutes every week with my founders in seed stage. I also hear about 500 pitches per year of 5000 or so submitted decks. Dunce Deals is a way for me to share what I am learning with you.

Founders email me your deck at john@danners.org. I publish deals that fit my investing criteria after we have chatted.
