PoLP has been acquired by Nolej!
PoLP has been acquired by Nolej a French AI company. I'm joining as a late Co-Founder and US CEO. We are building the infrastructure that will power the future of learning.
Intro
PoLP is a tool that empowers learners to discover ideas, validate learning, and unlock opportunities. It is a project that is re-designing learning for future workplaces where the only tasks needed are those that cannot be automated and that require creativity, social intelligence, reflection, and cooperation. It’s enabling long-term systemic changes by truly empowering both learners and teachers!
Users First, then Technology
This is not a technology first project, it’s not a crypto project, it's not a blockchain project, it’s not a WEB3 project or WEB2 project, it’s a project that solves three core challenges for learners.
Over several thousand hours of user research sessions, working with learners from the slums of East Africa, and refugee camps, to the K12 and higher ed schools of the US and Japan, from the non-traditional educational settings of homeschooling communities to maker-spaces in India. When boiling down the needs of these diverse learners, cutting out the superficial needs placed on them by others, and getting down to THEIR personal needs, those that tap into THEIR intrinsic motivation, they all share the same needs:
These we see as the first principles of this project !
