Episode description

Does Georgia need a hybrid public school? Michael Staton, CEO at CoLearn, thinks so--and just applied to be Georgia's next public school.

He moved to Georgia after years on the investment committee of one of the most successful VCs in education, Learn Capital in San Mateo, California.

He has helped lead investments into Coursera, Minerva, AltSchool, Andela, and many others.  Fittingly, he began his decade-long entrepreneurial journey in the classroom, teaching social studies to high school students in Houston, TX.

Now, Michael joins Atlanta Startup Podcast host, Valor Managing Partner Lisa Calhoun, for a conversation about how to fix public school education--and his hands-on startup planning to open its hybrid classrooms across the state next year.

Let's take this conversation to real time. Join Valor for an upcoming event.
