TeachStreet CEO on hacking education

Published March 27, 2009 at 3:26 PM
Dave Schappell, the CEO and founder of Seattle's TeachStreet, stopped by The Deal's Manhattan studio when he was in town for Union Square Ventures' recent invitation-only confab on Hacking Education. In this episode of our Behind the Money video show, Schappell shared his views about what's wrong with the current education system and how the Internet might help fix it.

TeachStreet, which uses the Web to connect students with instructors in a wide range of fields from piano to yoga, is backed by a 2008 $2.2 million Series A, led by Madrona Venture Group, with participation from Bezos Expeditions and several Seattle angels.
