About Amar Kumar

Talent is everywhere; opportunity is not. Education helps change this imbalance, and my life’s work is to accelerate that change. I’m an education entrepreneur with deep experience in online learning and education technology. I bring blue sky strategies to life, launch new products, and help organizations capture new growth opportunities beyond their comfort zone. When making decisions, I trust my gut instinct, but always verify with data.As a leader, I equip my teams with the tools to do the best work of their lives. I’m drawn to people that are hungry for feedback, always striving for improvement, and consider themselves to be in a state of ‘permanent beta.’Right now, I am building an education startup that helps bring new schools to every community in America. We empower educators to start Microschools so they can deeply personalize learning, while making it more engaging, social, and affordable. Never have I been more excited to jump out of bed to get to work.
