Abundance Education
The ThesisAbundance 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.
Industrial Revolution
Compulsory schools for factory workers
Postwar Boom
University expansion for the middle class
AI Revolution
No redesign... yet
This is the opportunity.
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

Four Principles of AI-Age Education
Education must shift from compliance to value creation
Agency as the New Literacy
Orchestrating digital labor is the foundation skill of the AI age
Personalization Over Standardization
AI tutors and mastery-based systems unlock individual potential
Outcome-Driven Over Debt-Driven
Fast, affordable, work-integrated pathways tied to real results
Mindset as the Operating System
Growth mindset and resilience power everything else
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.
