CHICAGO and SAN FRANCISCO, May 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — ASU+GSV Summit, the EdTech event that connects leading minds with the belief that all people have equal access to the future, today announced its annual list of the leading and most transformational, private companies in global learning, the EdTech 150. The ASU+GSV Summit estimates that these 150 companies reach approximately 3 million students.

A couple of years ago, Mohannad Arbaji had a problem, one he could only solve by going back to school. Not enough students were completing lessons on his digital platform ChalkTalk, aimed at helping students grades 9-12 understand English and math concepts and improve their scores on tests like the ACT and SAT.
