01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
SuperLearn offered live after-school classes for children, covering personal finance, arts, yoga and other life skills.
02 / SuperLearn FAILURE REASONS
Failure reasons
The founder said hiring, product development and growth spending increased cash consumption, but extensive fundraising talks failed. As offline life resumed, fewer children attended online classes.
