In 2003-2004 I was trying to start a software company to serve public schools.
If I were making the pitch today it, you’d call it a tightly integrated Schoology + Teachers Pay Teachers.
At the time, I was thinking in terms of a complete product to make the entire public school system better from the lives of teachers at the core. I should have separated the concept into smaller MVPs and we would have beaten TPT to market by a couple of years while having income to fund our other projects.
I’m happy to see that TPT has been able to find success though. I think they fill a huge need and it’s cool that they’re using Elixir now.
