Hear ClassDojo and SignalFire uncover the edtech opportunity ahead at TechCrunch Live

Sam Chaudhary takes his time. The founder of ClassDojo, an edtech consumer app that focuses on student classrooms, spent eight years building the company before introducing a formal revenue model. All while he raises more than tens of millions in venture capital from elite Silicon Valley investors and envisions a grand mission: to become the brand families turn to when thinking about a child’s education.

Today, ClassDojo has raised more than $200 million in venture capital and has its eyes set on its next goal, reaching $100 million in annual recurring revenue and reaching more than 100 million families. In this episode of TechCrunch Live that takes place on April 26 at 12pm PDT, we’ll look at how Chaudhary played the long game in edtech and what he would do differently if he was starting over. We’ll talk about the opportunity in the sector in a post-pandemic landscape, and how he gained the patience of investors. Chaudhary will discuss his entrepreneurial journey with his investor Chris Farmer, founder and CEO of SignalFire.

Farmer leads SignalFire, a startup venture that recently raised $900 million through four new funds. He describes SignalFire as “the only venture company with a true ML system where it’s a closed loop.” Prior to SignalFire, Farmer led the seed program for General Catalyst, helping to land deals on Coinbase, Discord, and Stripe. He will talk about investing in companies that are not rushing to monetize, competition in the marketplace, and the next generation of entrepreneurs.
