Outschool

Outschool operates the largest marketplace for live online learning for kids ages 3-18. Independent educators run small-group classes on everything from math and coding to Minecraft and art history, with parents choosing sessions that match their child's interests and schedule. The platform serves families seeking alternatives to traditional schooling—homeschoolers, supplemental learners, and curious kids looking for enrichment outside the classroom.

A Y Combinator alum that's been distributed since day one, Outschool's ~175-person team works across time zones with no headquarters to commute to. There's a coworking space in Busan for the Korea-based crew (who wrap up by 3pm local time), and once a year everyone flies in for an all-hands retreat. The benefits package leans into remote life: home office and internet stipends, a wellness budget, and mental health support through ModernHealth. And in a fitting twist, employees get a budget for their own kids to take classes on the platform—so you can watch your child learn pottery from a teacher in Portugal while you're async-collaborating with teammates in Toronto.
