Aristotle's avatar presents a slideshow about Greece. Prof Jim customers will be able to request avatars for whomever they’d like, be it a long dead celebrity or a specific classroom teacher.
Katelyn Donnelly, founder and managing director of Avalanche VC and a former managing director at the textbook giant Pearson, was impressed by Sekar and optimistic about potential future applications of the Prof Jim software. “He was bringing deep tech to a sector that really didn’t have very much, or didn’t use tech very effectively,” Donnelly said.
The Bay Area-based entrepreneur came up with the idea for Prof Jim during the pandemic, when his two daughters, now ages seven and 10, attended school online. Sekar’s own avatar will teach several free programming courses on the Prof Jim site. The avatar is strikingly similar to Sekar. It also dons parted dark hair and smiles along naturally with the script, but it’s a bit slimmer in the face .
