Ryan Carson, CEO of Treehouse http://teamtreehouse.com will be talking about the EdTech company birthing process. Treehouse has raised over $13,000,000 and is soon if not already hitting profitability (a rarity in startup land). Treehouse empowers anyone to learn how to build websites & apps, write code or start a business.
Ryan is also known for his unique workplace culture that would give most HR managers a heart attack including employing over seventy employees with zero managers. To top it off, no one works on Fridays! Ryan's blog tells the story better: http://ryancarson.com
