About Brisk Teaching

Empowering educators with their time worldwide.

Our story

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 Initiative, 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.

Our values

Impact
How we build
We're here to build something transformational, not to make incremental fixes. We have conviction in our mission and build from first principles to unlock what's never been possible for classrooms around the world. When we get it right, people can't help but tell others about it.
Partnership
How we interact with the world
We obsess over deep relationships, whether we're creating a campaign, closing a deal, running a training, or responding to a support ticket. We listen more than we talk, ask great questions, and show up consistently to build something that lasts.
Focus
How we make decisions
We develop strong, opinionated stances backed by data. We weigh every investment against our strategic priorities and say no to opportunities that pull us off course. We'd rather do a few things exceptionally well than many things adequately.
Action
How we build
We operate with urgency. We reach our goals, ship fast, and iterate in the real world rather than debating hypotheticals. We collaborate across teams without letting silos slow us down, seek help when we're stuck, and make things happen without being asked.
Growth
How we work as a team
We give and receive direct feedback because we care about each other's development, and we lean into disagreement because it sharpens our thinking. Once we decide, we commit fully and move forward together — assuming the best in each other and embracing learning. We do this while showing up as our quirky and caring selves, and that's a feature, not a bug.
The People Behind Brisk

Meet the people building Brisk

Hear from the team about what we’re building, who we’re building it for, and why it matters.
Arman Jaffer
Founder & CEO
Arman started Brisk after years of watching the same pattern play out across education — brilliant teachers spending their nights and weekends on work that technology should handle, with no time left for the part they got into teaching for. He came from the White House, Google, and CZI, but what drives him is building something teachers genuinely can't imagine going back without.
Jeni Weber
Marketing
Jeni's mom is a teacher, so she grew up watching what the job actually costs a person. Before Brisk, she was an ESL teacher herself, which means she pressure-tests every line she writes against a simple question: would my mom stop scrolling for this? If the answer is no, she rewrites it until it is.
Pam Martinez
Engineering
Pam has spent over a decade building EdTech products — at Seesaw, Clever, and now Brisk — and co-founded Snowball Wealth along the way. What keeps her here is shipping tools that teachers tell her they'd be lost without, and making sure Brisk works just as well for a teacher in a rural district as it does anywhere else.
Ari Chae
Product
Ari makes sure what Brisk builds matches what educators need. She came from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, where she first saw how much potential AI had to change classrooms if someone built it right. At Brisk, she's the connective tissue between what teachers ask for and what ships.
Anjali Rajpara
Customer Success
Anjali has supported hundreds of schools and districts in getting Brisk into classrooms, from the first PD session to the moment it clicks. She spent five years at NoRedInk doing the same kind of partnership work before joining Brisk, and one principal she onboarded told her he "saw the future of education" during their session together.
Bryan Profis
Sales
Bryan is a former teacher, so when he sits across from a superintendent or curriculum director, he's not delivering a pitch — he's translating something he lived into something they can see working across their buildings.
Emily Kirby
High School Teacher | Boca Raton, FL
I have tried ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, etc. Brisk is the only AI that is truly meant for teachers. Every day I learn something new and find better ways to use it. I would be lost without it!
