My fortunes have gone up and down but their arc has been toward outsized prosperity. I was fortunate (and lucky) enough to build a decently successful software company, which enabled me to, when I needed it for myself and my family, step away and even retire for a few years. And in that time I reflected on how I could help in a small and a big way to ensure others could achieve that Dream. I am convinced that the best place to start is the 70% of kids who will enter Kindergarten behind and never catch up. So today, I’m officially launching Page Turner, to turn the page for 70% of American children. With a small cohort of 1st graders, we’ve already seen incredible results. Through a 16 week, 2x per week, 30 minute 1-on-1 phonics and reading tutoring, we’ve helped kids go from the 25th percentile or below in reading to well above the 50th percentile, catching them up in half a year and setting them on a trajectory of success that, statistically, they would not have been able to achieve. We are approaching this from first principles and our goal is to have the most impact for the least dollars.
