15M Users & an Exit | What I'd Do Again (and Avoid)
Ever wondered what it's like to scale to 15M users and land a successful exit?
Join Novabook and Brighteye Ventures for an exclusive chat with Stephen Wilks, a second-time founder who's been there, done that, and has the stories to prove it.
Discover hard-earned insights, gain practical takeaways, network with Brighteye Ventures investors and connect with founders in the same space.
What to expect?
Meet Stephen Wilks, co-founder of Seneca Learning (exited) and Novabook. Stephen and his team scaled EdTech platform Seneca Learning to 15M users in just six years, resulting in an eight-figure exit with GoStudent.
Through Seneca, Stephen made world-class education free for all, transforming the education landscape. Now, with Novabook, he's empowering hundreds of founders with high-quality, cost-effective, AI-powered accounting services to fuel growth.
