Tade Oyerinde and Teddy Solomon shared strategies for building engaged audiences at TechCrunch Disrupt this year. The discussion focused on scaling companies while maintaining consumer interest. Oyerinde is the founder of Campus, an online school, and Solomon co-founded Fizz, a college social app.
The pair spoke at the annual tech conference, held recently in San Francisco. Oyerinde detailed Campus's growth to over 3,000 students and 100+ professors. He highlighted the launch of à la carte courses driven by employer demand for specific skills like "vibe coding."
Oyerinde predicts a future where continuous upskilling is the norm. He envisions Campus expanding its offerings to cater to a broader audience beyond traditional degree-seekers. The company aims to provide accessible learning opportunities for individuals seeking to acquire new skills through membership or subscription services.
Campus offers associate degrees in IT and business administration, alongside certificates in fields like cosmetology and phlebotomy. Fizz is a social app designed for college students. The next steps for both companies involve further development and expansion of their respective platforms.
