TechCrunch: Always Prepped Grabs $650K From True Ventures, Former Blackboard EVP To Launch A Mint.com For Education
Service will combine various learning technologies into single data platform:
Founder and CEO Fahad Hassan designed Always Prepped with 200 active and former teachers after learning that some of the biggest problems facing educators today involve fragmentation and the lack of portability in educational data.
Across the board, teachers reported using anywhere from three to 10 systems in the classroom, like an LMS, two or three math apps, video learning tools, reading apps, and so on. Naturally, each app, device and solution contains valuable teacher and student data, but generally speaking, there’s no easy way for teachers to access that data and have it inform other systems. So, Hassan decided to focus on making data consumable and actionable for teachers across all their platforms.
