Meet the Brisk Team
We are a diverse group of technologists, educators, and parents, all united by a passion to improve the lives of educators. With over a decade of collective teaching experience and roles at leading education technology companies like the Chan Zuckerberg Institute, Seesaw Learning, PBS Kids, NoRedInk, Panorama Education, GoGuardian, and Edulastic, we deeply understand what educators need. Our aim is simple: to lighten the workload for teachers so they can spend more time doing what they love - teaching, not administrative tasks.
