"$174M lessons here. We passed on @Altschool multiple times, mainly because disrupting school was a terrible strategy, but also b/c founders didn’t understand #edtech is all about partnering w/existing districts, schools and educators (not just “product”)"

- sharkmerry 7y agoI dont notice the same thing but we could be looking at different articles/comments on here. anyways, i think the real issue here is just the emptiness of it. Anyone can brag they knew (or pretend they knew) that a business would fail after it already did. and hes not providing insight. Just, it was "Terrible" and they "did it wrong".
