The Power of Play: How This EdTech Startup is Transforming Math Education - Part 1 with Evolytes
How can game-based learning reshape the future of math education? What happens when a team of visionaries decide to challenge the status quo of traditional learning?
In this episode, we dive into the fascinating story behind Evolytes, a math learning platform that is taking Iceland by storm and expanding its impact globally. I’m joined by Mathieu Skulason and Iris E. Gisladottir, the innovative minds behind Evolytes, who share their unconventional journeys into education technology, the challenges of creating an educative game that kids actually want to play, and the bold decisions that helped them scale their impact.
In part 1 of our conversation, we explore how Mathieu’s background in psychology and software engineering merged with Iris’s experience in business and sales to create something truly special. You’ll hear about the unexpected obstacles they faced, the pivotal moments that defined their success, and the role of diversity and collaboration in their innovative approach.
In this episode, you will learn about:
The unconventional paths that led Mathieu and Iris to building Evolytes
how a simple idea evolved into a comprehensive platform transforming math education
the importance of diversity in their team and how it fuels creativity and problem-solving (sometimes, through heated discussions =) )
balancing data and feelings in building a successful business
the challenges of creating a math game that kids AND teachers love—and the breakthrough moments
Stay tuned for next week when we continue the conversation with Iris and Mathieu. You will find out about the uncomfortable truth about fundraising that many founders should know and much more.
Stay safe and #standwithukraine,
Anna
