In this episode: Frank is talking to Michal Hudeček who is the CEO of Levebee and a serial entrepreneur with 20+ years of experience in online business. Levebee makes learning easier, more effective and fun for kids in areas such as math, reading and languages. His background combines deep technical knowledge with business skills proven by multiple exits. He is based in Prague, the Czech Republic.

We talk about: How the international expansion is challenged by the fragmentation of educational markets, that the biggest challenge is understanding and digitizing the implicit knowledge and decision-making processes of teachers, that understanding pedagogical research and focusing on the educational value is important for EdTech startups….and lots more.

Outtakes:

• What we are trying to build here is this mythical, personalized digital math teacher.
• When you try to focus only on the fun, you are eventually competing with everything that is fun. So I still believe that the educational value is more important, like finding a way how to help teachers.
• It's important to be able to get it to the users quickly. This is why we try to have the direct contact with the teachers and the students and to build the brand, to be trusted and have the expertise to build on.
