Founder & CEO @ CourseKey Forbes 30 Under 30 Thiel Fellow
👋 Hi, I'm Luke...
I'm the Founder & CEO of CourseKey, a Series B stage vertical SaaS business that offers Vocational Training Software for blue collar businesses. We've become the largest provider of education management software in our space in a few short years. It's been a hell of a ride thus far and I'm so proud of our 80+ person team :-).
Cutting to the chase, I'm obsessed with SaaS -- vertical SaaS to be exact -- and spend a TON of time thinking about it (reading/writing/consuming), operating (running CourseKey), and investing (observing/evaluating) in the category.
This is where I share my thoughts. Feel free to subscribe to my newsletter on vSaaS, follow me on twitter @lukesophinos, or just check out some high-quality books, videos, and more!
