Founded, built, and sold iCreate to Educate, an education technology company that engages all learners of the K12 classroom through the creation of their own animated videos. Inspired by my early career days as a Mechanical Engineer at Walt Disney Imagineering, I spun a research-based edtech product out of Tufts University, and built iCreate to engage the next generation of Imagineers. After 4-years of bootstrapping, our UK-based strategic partner and distributor HUE acquired iCreate. Through those 4 years, I gained experience in university tech transfer, licensing, education channel distribution, strategic partnerships in both niche and mass markets, and the countless other challenges an edtech sole founder endures.
