Abundance Education

The Thesis

Abundance Education exists to acquire, invest in, and incubate exceptional education companies that are redefining how humans learn in the age of artificial intelligence

We believe the next decade will be defined by exponential advances in personalized learning, AI-driven mentorship, re-aligned incentive models, and lifelong learning platforms. Owning high-quality operating businesses in this space offers both strong financial returns and enduring social impact.

The PROBLEM

Education costs are rising while outcomes collapse

These loans prevent home purchases, business creation, family formation — slowing economic growth. Schools prepare students for disappearing jobs while banning AI. Degrees signal less while underemployment persists.

"The world's biggest problems are the world's biggest business opportunities"

— Peter Diamandis

The Solution

Four Principles of AI-Age Education

Education must shift from compliance to value creation

1

Agency as the New Literacy

Orchestrating digital labor is the foundation skill of the AI age

2

Personalization Over Standardization

AI tutors and mastery-based systems unlock individual potential

3

Outcome-Driven Over Debt-Driven

Fast, affordable, work-integrated pathways tied to real results

4

Mindset as the Operating System

Growth mindset and resilience power everything else

The Transition

Anyone with internet can now hire armies of digital workers

Companies slash costs. Individuals do the work of ten. The scarce skill is no longer information access — it's agency: seeing problems worth solving and orchestrating AI to solve them.

Transition phases create enormous opportunities — incumbents move slowly, leaving room for prepared new players to capture market share.

Mobile computing → iPhone

disrupted Nokia, BlackBerry

Streaming media → Netflix

displaced Blockbuster

Electric vehicles → Tesla

outpaced Detroit

Work from home → Zoom
