Zeal is developing the world's first social learning network on phones. Founded in February 2013, we release Beta1 in December and have several active classrooms and several hundred active students. We begin our closed Beta period in April and will begin increasing the pool of students we allow on the system.
We believe that instead of students having to go to a physical place to learn, they will be able to learn anything, anywhere, at any time on their phones. We believe that people learn best when they are solving a difficult problem and when they can learn from each other rather than a teacher. If you want to help figure out how people are going to learn in the 21st century, Zeal could be the place for you.
Zeal was founded by serial entrepreneurs John Danner and Sanjay Noronha. John was the CEO and co-Founder of NetGravity, the first adserving company, which he took public and sold for $750m. He then taught for several years and founded Rocketship Education, the first technology-enabled blended schools in the country. Sanjay was the co-Founder of elance, the world's first outsourcing marketplace and has spent the last several years working in social gaming and learning apps.
Our stack is javascript, angular, ruby on rails, mysql. Our teacher application runs on the web and our student app runs native on phones.
We have a team of nine today and are funded for the next two years. We are looking for a fantastic engineer to add to our mobil team. You should be smart, adaptive, persistent and love the pace and immediate feedback of an early stage startup.
As learning becomes a consumer market, we think providing great tools to the 2 billion students with phones will disrupt the $4 trillion education space. We are looking for engineers who believe there is more to life than creating the next social network or game, and want to use their skills to significantly impact the ability of students in the world to learn better and faster. If you want to be part of a great team changing the world of learning, this is your opportunity.
