Light Dao Salon: Future of AI & Education (London)
LIGHT DAO is excited to partner up with WHATCLASS to launch an inaugural evening for investors, founders and entrepreneurs who are interested in social impact.
Guest Speaker: Ivy Xu
There is a lot of fear around AI and the future of education but few have already had the kind of experience that Ivy Xu has had in pioneering AI academics in the classroom. She's proven that kids can complete academic work in a couple hours a days with the help of AI so that they can spend the rest of the day making their dreams come true. And boy have they...
In this fireside chat we’ll explore how AI is helping kids to think bigger. And how you it can free you to do the same.
About Ivy:
From dreaming of running a school as a kid to enabling high schoolers to raise millions in startup capital before they turn 18, Ivy Xu is building schools where learning means launching. After a fintech career in Silicon Valley and dabbling in a few side projects, Ivy founded Prequel in 2020, an AI-first education company helping teens build ambitious projects, from launching apps with 20,000+ users to producing Broadway-bound musicals and raising startup capital. In just one month, Prequel hit six figures in revenue — and 23 months later, Ivy sold the company in a 7-figure exit.
Today, Ivy leads Novatio School and Unbound Academy, two Arizona-based schools powered by Prequel’s original model and a new AI tutor platform that customizes learning for every student. With over 200 students already enrolled and projected revenue topping $2.5M, the schools are setting a new standard for what education can look like.
Join us for a conversation with Ivy as she shares how an early dream became a mission to help students build real-world masterpieces before they even finish high school.
