About

I plan to dedicate my life to building a future in which, through technology, every person on this planet has access to the best quality of education. And not only that, but a future in which people want to spend their time learning. I co-founded Duolingo with Severin Hacker in 2011 to make high-quality education available to everyone, and I’m both very proud of what we’ve accomplished so far and excited about our prospects as I feel we’re just getting started.
