About

After starting my career in the standard parts of Wall Street (Salomon Smith Barney and the Riverside Company), I went to work in charter schools (Edison Schools) and found a calling. Building sustainable education businesses around effective outcome models is what I've spent 13 years doing. Over time that evolved to doing more in and around higher education, in particular in the areas of how colleges can better address today's learner through technology as well as how people can or can't pay for the credentials they need to improve their lives. I started Socratic Ventures in 2010 to work with bona fide education entrepreneurs and to help them construct sustainable, scalable businesses to effect lasting change in the world.
