America’s divisiveness is creating new business opportunities

TODAY’S STORY

America’s increased division regarding our values and beliefs is an interesting area for considering business ideas.

One such example can be seen in our education system.

Every week, we’re seeing reports of threats at school board meetings and protests over kids' curriculum. Schools have become political battlegrounds. As a result, more parents are opting out of the traditional public school system in favor of alternative forms of education like microschools, which are leaner and may be able to adapt better to the evolving needs of students and families.

While microschools have been traditionally run informally by groups of concerned parents, some startups like Primer are building infrastructure to help teachers handle issues like leasing classrooms, getting state approval, and recruiting students. It was estimated last year that the U.S. has 120,000 microschools serving 1.5 million students, a significant increase from before the pandemic.
