I've recorded nearly 60 episodes of Fund/Build/Scale, but my conversation with Nectir co-founder/CEO Kavitta Ghai exceeded every expectation I had. She embodies the listener I'm trying to reach: someone who wants to turn an idea into a sustainable business. I can't imagine a better endorsement from a past guest than this one: "I don't often say this when I share my podcast episodes, but if you're thinking about starting something, building something, or just looking for a sign to finally take the leap, I promise this is worth your next hour." Thanks, Kavitta.

We’ve been having a blast trying out all these new AI tools! Check out this Studio Ghibli version of our CEO Kavitta Ghai’s latest podcast episode on the Fund/Build/Scale show with Walter Thompson. ? Full episode here: https://lnkd.in/gYAQSY4B

Out of the 20+ podcast episodes I've recorded, this one is genuinely my favorite and it's the most honest I've ever been about my journey of becoming a founder. In this Fund/Build/Scale episode with Walter Thompson, I walked through exactly how I channeled my frustration with the education system into building Nectir, a VC-backed edtech company, without any tech background, network, or generational wealth. I talk openly about the messy realities of finding our first paying customers, the moment I realized I had to be my own salesperson, and why reframing risk as a strength gave me a huge competitive advantage. Basically, it's the episode I wish I'd had when I was first starting out. I don't often say this when I share my podcast episodes, but if you're thinking about starting something, building something, or just looking for a sign to finally take the leap, I promise this is worth your next hour.

Education should never feel lonely—yet too often, students face critical moments alone, without help. At Nectir, our Co-Founder & CEO Kavitta Ghai knows firsthand what it's like navigating late nights without support, driven by her own experiences as a student at UC Santa Barbara. Today, we're thrilled that our 7 year-old mission to revolutionize education through AI-powered support is being highlighted in AIM Research, a leading voice in global AI insights. This feature captures how Nectir AI is transforming the age-old academic experience by providing personalized, immediate, and scalable student support. With Nectir’s FERPA-compliant AI Assistants being deployed at over 100 higher education institutions around the nation, we've been able to measure our efficacy at scale and publish leading research studies showing how Nectir AI increases student GPA by 20% and even boosts intrinsic motivation to learn by 36%. We're proud to lead the charge in bringing safe and scalable AI solutions to education—ensuring every student has someone by their side, anytime they need it. ??
