Agustin Cortes is the founder of Learkn.com, an online learning platform aiming to disrupt the economics of being a teacher by providing a creator platform where educators and students can thrive. Agustin is a native of San Jose and grew up near Silicon Valley in a mostly Latinx community where education and entrepreneurship are not fostered by institutions from the Valley. Agustin explains how our current education models are ripe for transformation and digitalization due to the recent pandemic and how his startup can help democratize access to information for the underrepresented communities.
