A Bold Vision for the Future of Learning
Join us on our journey to transform education and close workforce gaps. Learn Collaborate is a high-growth startup poised to deliver both measurable social impact and significant market returns.
The Opportunity
Solving a Critical Market Need
The U.S. economy is undergoing a seismic skills shift: according to the World Economic Forum, 44% of workers’ core skills will change by 2027, while employers continue to struggle with sourcing talent equipped for collaboration, critical thinking, and project execution. Learn Collaborate addresses this gap by uniting AI-driven guidance, project-based learning, and real-world mentorship into a single platform built for equity and scale.
Our approach not only prepares students with the 21st-century skills demanded by today’s job market—it enables schools, community colleges, and employers to collaboratively shape and access a smarter, more diverse talent pipeline. By embedding workforce readiness directly into the learning process, we’re not just closing skills gaps—we’re activating a system for long-term economic mobility and community resilience.
Our Progress and Traction
Validated by Experts
Backed by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through STTR Phase I and Phase II funding, Learn Collaborate is advancing research in artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and psychometrics to transform how human collaboration and workforce-ready skills are measured and validated.
Our technology has been informed by more than 500 educators and 2,000 students, with expertise from cognitive scientists, machine learning engineers, and industry partners. Following three completed institutional pilots at Rollins College, we are currently conducting additional pilots with Loyola Marymount University (LMU) and Los Angeles Pierce College, with two more pilots secured at Rollins for Spring 2027. These engagements support continued product development and testing of our AI-powered capabilities as we validate our computational assessment technology and advance toward commercialization.
Our Unique Advantage
A Platform Built for Impact
Learn Collaborate expands the Collaborative Project-Based Learning model into a high-throughput behavioral intelligence platform. Powered by our proprietary Learning and Skills Assessment framework, the platform translates authentic student teamwork into an objective, longitudinal record of workforce capability. While educators gain real-time visibility that eliminates manual grading friction, employers gain access to talent backed by verifiable competency data rather than static resumes. By combining multi-agent AI orchestration with validated behavioral modeling, Learn Collaborate creates a defensible data moat that traditional learning management systems cannot replicate.
Our Team

The Learn Collaborate team is built at the intersection of education, technology, and workforce innovation. We are former operators, educators, researchers, and strategists—united by a commitment to equitable learning and skilled talent development. Our team’s experience spans leading institutions and companies including Google, Apple, Microsoft, NBCUniversal, IDEO, UC Irvine, the National Science Foundation, and multiple high-growth EdTech and AI startups.
What sets us apart is our ability to translate research into real-world systems. Our leaders bring deep expertise in AI/ML, UX, instructional design, behavioral science, and equity-centered product development—allowing us to build solutions that are not only technically sound but pedagogically effective and socially relevant. To date, we’ve supported over 10,000 learners through nonprofit programs and delivered 21,000+ hours of authentic, collaborative learning experiences.
With NSF investment and a cross-sector mindset, we're uniquely positioned to build a platform that works for students, educators, and employers alike—bridging the education-to-workforce gap with the urgency and creativity this moment demands.
