Principal / Senior Product Manager
Noon Academy, United Kingdom

Noon Academy is one of the fastest-growing EdTech startups in the World and the first in delivering social learning at scale. Simply put, it makes study fun by crafting a peer-to-peer learning experience that is joyful, collaborative, and informative. Students join friends in study groups, competitions, and LIVE sessions with star teachers in which they can collaborate and problem-solve together in a breakout format. No wonder engagement rocketed to 78 min/day on average in its social features, 5x the global benchmark of EdTech apps.

Today, Noon Academy is loved by over 8 million registered students. Students across 8 countries participate in various study groups and learn from over 25k teachers.

We have raised $21 million and want to turn Noon into a global social learning platform that radically transforms the lives of 50+ million learners by 2023.
