Founder & CEO @ CourseKey Forbes 30 Under 30 Thiel Fellow
👋 Hi, I'm Luke...
I'm the Founder & CEO of CourseKey, a vertical software platform for trade schools. We've become the largest software provider in the space over the last few years. It's been a hell of a ride thus far and I'm so proud of our ~100 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), investing (observing/evaluating), and advising (Atomic.vc & others) 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!
