You spent years fixing education from the inside.
Now build the tools to fix it from the outside.
Chalkbase is the bootcamp for ex-teachers — learn to build edtech SaaS, ship your first product, and get matched with a founder who needs you.
The Process
How Chalkbase Works
Learn to Build
Master the technical skills to build real SaaS products — no prior coding experience needed. Just your teaching superpower.
Ship Your First Product
During the bootcamp, you'll build and launch an actual edtech tool used by real students and teachers.
Get Matched
We connect you with vetted edtech founders looking for a mission-driven co-founder who gets education.
Two Paths
Who It's For
I'm a teacher ready to build
You know education's problems from the inside. You've been wishing someone would just build that tool. Now that someone is you.
- No coding experience required
- Learn from other ex-teachers
- Get matched with a startup that needs you
I'm a founder who needs an education expert
Technical skills aren't your bottleneck. Deep education domain expertise is. Find your co-founder here.
- Pre-vetted ex-teachers who can build
- Someone who lives and breathes education
- Equity partnership, not a consultant
I spent 12 years teaching middle school math. I always saw the gaps — the tools that didn't exist, the workflows that were broken. Chalkbase gave me the skills and the partner to actually do something about it. Six months later, we're in 40 schools.
