#21 Quim Sabrià, CEO & Co-Founder of EDpuzzle | Making It Real Podcast with Jan Brinckmann

Quim Sabria is the Co-Founder and CEO of
Edpuzzle, a crowdsourced video-lesson-platform in the
K12 space, one of the top of cohort YCombinator startups in the
EdTech industry. Edpluzzle combines simple video-editing tools
with analytics so that a teacher can take a video and make it
personal for their classrooms. Quim started as a math teacher
without any tech or business know-how to run a company. He used
to make his educational videos that he shared with other teachers
who loved the idea and wanted to personalize them on their own.
Started as a side project with childhood friends, the business
made it to Silicon Valley and received a seed round which
resulted in $800.000. In this episode Quim shares with us his
insights on the main steps to create and accelerate high-growth
companies.
