Hello and welcome! I am honored that Forbes has invited me to contribute to their blog on entrepreneurship. Back in early 2011, I decided it was time to take the plunge and do my part to change the world. I started an ed-tech company called Torsh (Today’s One Room School House) and our mission was (and still is) to create better students, one great teacher at a time. We produce a video-based online community and data platform that facilitates teacher observation, feedback and coaching. At Torsh we fervently believe that we need a lot more great teachers to dramatically improve the educational outcomes of the millions of children born into poverty and unfortunate circumstances.  This simple premise drives me and drives what we do at Torsh.
