I'm the CEO of Black Swan Learning, a start-up company developing and marketing software that helps people learn more quickly, more reliably, more persistently, and more joyfully than they thought possible. Our tagline is "Improbably powerful learning". Our initial customer focus -- our "dot" -- is "Loving moms who regularly read to their two-year-olds." Our first product is software to help those two-year-olds learn to read. To prepare myself for this role, I studied and did AI research at Caltech, MIT, and Stanford, where I got my Ph.D. in electrical engineering. After that I worked at two of the world's biggest tech companies, raised two kids (a health tech entrepreneur and an astrophysicist), worked at several tech start-ups, and taught in venues ranging from kindergarten to high school to medical school. The concept of "black swan learning methods" changed my life. When I learned that there were methods of instruction, seemingly unknown to the education system, that could ensure "improbably powerful learning," I resolved to make those methods available and affordable to everyone through software. Welcome to my dream!
