Anton Gopka
Co-founder and CEO

Over 20 years ago he led the first district to win the prestigious Malcom Baldrige Award in education by moving from a time-based system to a digital personal mastery, thereby setting in motion a revolution in school change. He founded the Re-Inventing Schools Coalition (RISC), which aims to impact 1,000,000 children by scaling this system worldwide.
