CEO and Co-Founder, Uplimit | Unlimit the world's learning potential

It was just about three years ago that Jacob Samuelson, Sourabh Bajaj and I started to brainstorm on what would eventually become Uplimit. It wasn’t that we were hit by a euphoric idea, it was rather that we were obsessed about a problem——there was need to upskill people in an affordable way, and the existing online learning solutions weren’t working. And we believed that changes in how people engaged socially online and advances in AI would allow us to solve it. The entrepreneurial journey is hard——-things don’t go as you expect, and sometimes life happens in ways that make everything a little bit harder. But three years in, I still pinch myself that I get to this, that this is my job...to be able to image a different world, and then actually try to build something to make that a reality. And what a joy it is to be able to do it with a team, set of investors, and customers that feel the same way.

Julia, Sourabh I am a big fan of Uplimit, both as a learner and an instructor. It indeed addresses an important problem. As a fellow entrepreneur, I believe Uplimit's biggest asset is its people. Steve Haraguchi is amazing!

Congrats to you and the team on all of your success…And thanks for being candid about the non-epiphany beginnings—which is honestly how so many brilliant innovations start (despite the mythology suggesting otherwise)

It's amazing how Uplimit consistently maintains the high quality of the courses. I've enjoyed many of them. It's not just about the founders; the company's culture is evident in how Shreya and Barbara (may be many others) operate the courses and sustain the learning momentum. I look forward to seeing Uplimit reach new heights
