Netflix Founder Acquires Online Education Start-Up
- jganetsk 16y agoDid I understand this correctly... it's Reed Hastings himself buying the startup and NOT Netflix?
- vtail 16y agoYes, as both the title of the article and it's text clearly tell. "He donated the the money to buy the company to Charter School Growth Fund. The acquisition price was not disclosed. He also invested $10 million in DreamBox to expand to more schools and subjects beyond math. He will become chairman of the DreamBox board, while continuing his role at Netflix, and DreamBox’s co-founder and chief executive, Lou Gray, will leave the company." He = Reed Hastings
- DilipJ 16y agoYes, Hastings himself. He's wealthy enough from Pure and Netflix. Also, he's always been very interested in education reform (charter schools and such).
