A Conversation with Brett Kopf- CEO/Founder of Remind and Omella

Brett Kopf I live outside Boulder 🏔 Colorado, and am building💰Omella. I previously started 💬 Remind in San Francisco. 📚 Improving education: Omella.com and Remind.com are how I’m trying to do this. I’m generally interested in the intersection of FinTech and education and am obsessed with helping customers. As one friend said, “I go unreasonably deep trying to understand their problems.” 📈 I started Remind.com with my brother David in 2011. It’s used by 30M active users and 80% of U.S. teachers, who send billions of messages. The vision is to allow every student to succeed, but it all started with one: Mrs. Whitefield. We raised $60M from John Doerr, Chamath Palihapitiya, Naval Ravikant, + a few more. Remind is growing, and I’m on the board. 🧾 We started Omella in 2019 after seeing thousands of educators struggling with collecting money. It’s still early days, but we have a small set of customers who love it; we’re growing and are well-funded. More here soon... ❤️  When I’m not building Omella, I’m either with my family or on the basketball court (C- center at best, but I’ll outwork everyone 💪🏼). I care a lot about health: fasting and reversing pre-diabetes. -Brett Kopf LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/brettkopf Websites: remind.com  Email brettkopf@gmail.com Twitter: ⁠brettkopf⁠ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/educationconcierge/message
