Team
Built by people who remember the one teacher.
No student should have to wait for the one teacher in a thousand who notices what they care about and builds the lesson around it.
Bobby Motamed

Bobby has spent 25 years in learning and development, shapes how CourseBend teaches, and founded the BC + AI Ecosystem.
Colin Fitzgerald

Colin leads the technical build, with about 15 years in startups, including co-founding Plantiga.
Why we’re building this
Students who disengage are often not unmotivated. They’re unseen.
“The one teacher who ever looked at me and saw someone worth taking seriously was my high school philosophy teacher. No one managing thirty students at once can give any of them what mine gave me.”
