Product Owner

Let's briefly tell you about us:

Educational startup YaizY offers classes for children in small groups online. These lessons will educate children (8-17 years old) on skills of the 21st century: innovation, design, robotics, coding, entrepreneurship, multimedia, and marketing.

Our long-term goal is to create a modern and personal educational path for children to high-paying professions of the future through an interesting and engaging format for learning new skills of the 21st century.

We launched at the beginning of 2020 and have already entered 3 markets: USA, the UK, and Israel. Right now, we have 1,500 children studying. In total, more than 10,000 students have passed through our courses, and the company's total revenue has exceeded $150k per month.

Why is it cool to work for us?

We work in a large, international, and growing EdTech market

(in 2020, venture capital investments in EdTech exceeded $16.1 billion with an increase of 2.3 times).

The culture and speed of a startup: an energetic team, the absence of bureaucracy, efficiency in making all key decisions

Investors believe in us: in 2020, we raised $3.5 million from the largest international and US funds, including Learn Start. Now we are preparing for a new round!

A strong team with experience from management consulting(MBB), large technology corporations, and companies in the educational sector

Strong product differentiation: each of our courses has a game element — the practical part of the lessons is implemented in the form of interactive game tasks.

We have our own technology platform for conducting classes and LMS

What are the key tasks we will solve?

1. Implement a systematic product approach to the development of educational courses, configure the process of collecting and using feedback, as well as reduce the time (TTM) for launching one course
2. Multiply the number of courses on the platform by entering into strategic partnerships and launching your own educational studio
3. Develop and expand interactive tools for teachers that they can use on the platform right during the lesson (a system of interactive "tasks" for the student)
4. Create a taxonomy of courses and a system for building individual learning profiles for children
