Making Studying a Team Effort — Lucas Hild

Episode notes

Send us Fan Mail This week, the SphereCast team interviews Lucas Hild, Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder at Knowunity . Hild’s platform is the first interactive platform of its kind in Europe. On Knowunity, students can view and download any relevant school-related study material or content, including presentations, flashcards, notes, and much more. The content on Knowunify is user-generated — uploaded by students, for students. In only six months since its launch in September 2020, Knowunity has gained more than 700,000 users — even as the platform is currently only offered in German. However, Hild and his co-founders were not shocked by this outcome. In fact, their research showed that students were more likely to retain information when being taught by fellow students. On the podcast, Hild — who is only 19 years old — shares wisdom well beyond his age and discusses the wild ride that is founding a company and learning to scale up at breakneck speed. Noteworthy Quotes: "Successful leaders should create a vision and impassion other people to share that vision... It's also important that every team member understands the mission and the goals in front of them.
