Yerba Buena and Fort Mason locations and New York's Brooklyn Heights and Union Square outposts. These lab schools serve as testing grounds for an in-house team of technologists to innovate new tools for the classroom. AltSchool evangelizes using technology to personalize the curriculum for individual students.

The startup licenses its tech to at least hundreds of schools nationwide, Bloomberg reported.

Founded in 2013, AltSchool is the brainchild of founder and CEO Max Ventilla, who left his role as Google's head of personalization to launch the educational-technology startup.
