    Keith Schacht and Doug Peltz on What Traction Feels Like - at YC Edtech Night

    Keith Schacht, Doug Peltz, Geoff Ralston, Tim, Blake

    Founded by former teacher Doug Peltz and entrepreneur Keith Schacht, Mystery Science delivers an interactive, pre-recorded science curriculum that acts as a virtual co-teacher for K-5 educators lacking subject expertise. The company secured a $2 million Series A round and entered Y Combinator in 2017 after validating a viral, teacher-led adoption model that currently operates in over 10% of U.S. schools. By replacing traditional textbooks with evidence-based storytelling, Mystery Science has bypassed the need for heavy sales infrastructure to become a dominant supplemental resource in a market where 95% of elementary schools lack dedicated science staff.
