We’ve raised more than $60M from WestBridge Capital, Madrona, and Neotribe Ventures to advance our vision for experiential learning that drives measurable behavior change, not passive consumption. Before starting Yoodli, I spent four years at Apple as both a software engineer and product manager across Apple TV+ and Beats by Dr. Dre.
