When Tyler applied in the YC in 2012, the idea was an extraordinary idea. A API for schools? But out -of -the -lesers in the beginning seem to be unusual. On the day of the demo, he surprised the room when he announced that he had already signed a thousand schools. Over the next 10 years, he and his co -faces grew smartly at an educational powerhouse, which is used every day by more than half of K -12 students in the United States. Finally, when he sold the million at 500 million, his vision was surprisingly paid.
This kind of commitment and belief is exactly what the best founders of the YC explains. And that is why we are happy to return to the Tyler to the YC, this time as an ordinary partner.
Tyler himself knows what to defeat the difficulties and turn the idea of ​​an early stage into a promoting business. He understands the emotional roller coaster of entrepreneurship.
But what really separates the tiler is his extraordinary skill in sales. He is just an excellent sales leader we’ve seen. He brings natural ability to connect, build confidence and shut down deals. Its famous “How to be sold“Class is one of the most seen videos of the YC. I can’t wait for all YC founders to take advantage of its patronage and get these important first users to get down.
And, of course, I can’t introduce Tyler without mentioning his most interesting hobbies: in his spare time, he is a gelatu chef that has crossed the world in the quest to complete his pistachio gelatto prescription.
We can’t be too excited to keep the tyler on the board. Welcome to Wi, Tyler!
