Some Thoughts:

‍

Working alongside Adam and Richard throughout this journey has been a privilege. They approach their craft with a level of passion and depth that makes every conversation feel energizing. Throughout this process, I found myself not only sharpening my understanding of AI more broadly, but also discovering entirely new ways it can create real, immediate, and lasting impact within education.

Amongst finding the right home for Pango, our touchpoints with different strategic players across the education ecosystem gave us a front-row seat to how they are thinking about AI’s role in reshaping their organizations. Seeing that diversity of thought and approach was integral in helping us finding the right home for the team.

That’s why the combination of a mission-driven, AI-native education venture like Pango with the established content engine of Imagine feels so powerful. It’s the kind of pairing that I can see moving the needle for educators and students alike. I’m excited to watch what emerges from this next chapter—and I have no doubt it’s going to improve the lives of millions of students.

‍

Deciding to work with Clearpact was one of the best decisions I’ve made as a Founder-CEO.

‍

With this being a strategic acquisition, we knew a sophisticated and nuanced understanding of the potential buyer universe would be essential. Clearpact’s impressive capabilities on this front were evident from day one – they brought forward strategic buyers we hadn’t even considered, each perfectly aligned with our vision.

Every twist and turn of the deal itself was handled with professionalism and expertise, ensuring the process stayed on track and our interests were protected at every stage. As first-time founders, going through our first exit, they patiently and expertly guided us through every step of the journey.

Thanks to their dedication and skill, we achieved an outcome that not only met but exceeded our goals – I couldn’t recommend them more highly.
