We founded TeachBoost in the Spring 2012 cohort of ImagineK12, an education technology accelerator now part of Y Combinator. Since our inception we've been focused on building human software that leverages the power of feedback to improve educational outcomes. We've grown into a team of 16, spread out over five timezones, working with almost 600 organizations all over the world.

Our team is our greatest strength. Meet the amazing group of teachers, engineers, experts, and strategists that make TeachBoost so special.
Meet our teamWe want to help all teachers become great teachers
Our vision is for every student to have an amazing teacher. Our mission is to build and support the best teacher development software to get us there.
As three founders with backgrounds in technology, we started TeachBoost to move the dial in education in the best way we know how: intuitive, human software.
Most software in schools has been designed to be bought, not used every day. We started TeachBoost with our users: principals and coaches who needed ways to be more effective in how they support teachers. We believe in empowering educators, not doing their inherently complex job for them.
TeachBoost makes coaching and teacher development fun, safe, collaborative, and encouraging for everyone involved, and it does it in a way that enhances your existing processes and culture.
Just as important, we're in this for the long haul—we're not here for a quick exit, we want to build a lasting company that's a wonderful place to work. Everyone deserves to work in a calm, low-stress, flexible, and friendly place and we're building that too.
Our values guide us every day
Not just in how we build tools but in how we run our company, who we hire, and how we work with each other and our customers.
Stay curious.
Curiosity touches everything we do, from personal growth to extracurriculars to always trying to understand how something works.
Care about what you do.
Our name is on it and that matters, even if no one else but us sees it.
And how you do it.
Care for our environment, privacy, and security are ends in themselves, not just side benefits or competitive advantages.
Require autonomy.
We trust each other to get our work done and hate micromanaging. Flexibile schedules and independence are critical and go both ways.
