JetLearn: What you need to know
Founded by Abhishek Bahl in 2021, JetLearn connects children between 6 and 16 to the top 1 per cent of educators experienced in teaching Web 3.0, AI, and robotics.
Bahl says, “Schools are preparing children for the jobs of today, not for the jobs of tomorrow! Our platform fills this learning gap and provides school-age children from the age of 6 upwards with a foundation in new-age technologies. JetLearn’s STEM.org accredited program is the World’s first and only Web 3.0 curriculum for the K-12 segment. We already have a strong presence across multiple markets, and this funding will allow us to expand in the UK, accelerating the transition to delivering our experiences in Web 3.0, and developing metaverse-native content.”.
Every child has their own personalised learning pathway, powered by the company’s AI technology, and based on the learner’s starting level, the pace of learning, and interests.
The Dutch company powers live 1:1 online lessons and fun-learning workshops, and trains children for competitive hackathons via its world-leading curriculum and inspirational teachers.
Upon signing up for a monthly subscription, users are able to access educators for online live learning, supplemented with assignments and self-learning projects.
Secondary school students closer to college age can also connect to mentors from top Silicon Valley companies.
“This is the Netflix moment for ed-tech in Europe, and JetLearn is one of the pioneers. The INSEAD Angel Group is proud to partner with Abhishek and JetLearn’s team of passionate educators and operators on the mission of empowering the next generation of creators,” says Daan Wilms Van Kersbergen, the Netherlands-based Investment Director and co-ordinator for the INSEAD Angel Group.
