Summary

Panos Siozos and his co-founders go back 25 years or more. They all studied Computer Science together in Greece and did their post graduate studies on educational tech. His hobbies have been on pause for the past few years, given the growth of his business, but his main passion is his family, and his 8 year old daughter. They are building a 3d printer together, and tend to create using lots and lots of legos, including lego animation. His family helps him to see the power of learning something, and recites that learning is something that no one can ever take away from you. During their post graduate studies, Panos and his co-founders built many products in the learning space, as they were crafty and could implement the things they were imagining. During their time, they shared the passion to create products that impacted the masses, and enabled them to learn better. This is the creation story of LearnWorlds.
