Brett Kopf: Revolutionizing Education and Payments with Omella

Brett Kopf, the co-founder of Omella and Remind, has dedicated his career to simplifying and enhancing the educational industry for schools, educators, students, and families. 

In this conversation, we discuss the journey behind creating Omella, a platform designed to streamline financial transactions for mission-driven educational organizations, and the massive success of Remind, a widely-used communication tool for education (over 30 million active monthly users). 

In addition, we cover the inspiration behind Omella, the value of micro schools, building connections in Silicon Valley, using Notion for company management, the importance of talking to customers, and so much more. 

Likewise, we also explore the tremendous growth of Remind, including the significant funding it has received, the prominent investors involved, such as John Doerr from Kleiner Perkins and Chamath Palihapitiya from Social Capital, and the platform's widespread adoption, now reaching millions of users.
