Tyton Partners is an investment bank and consulting firm that specializes in education. Tyton Partners recently featured Alelo CEO Dr. Lewis Johnson in their Founder’s Five series, which invites education company founders to shed light on their own success and illuminate the landscape for other education entrepreneurs and investors by answering five basic questions.
In this interview, Lewis tells Alelo’s origin story, starting from a spinout from the University of Southern California. He explains how the market will be changed by Alelo’s success: There will be thousands of avatars that offer personalized learning to tens of millions of learners. He discusses some of the institutional barriers that stand in the way of adoption of training technologies at scale. And Tyton Partners asked him to provide one non-intuitive insight that he gained from Alelo’s work.
