I’m Jacob (Chief DODO—the District Office Door Opener) who has spent 18+ years unlocking meaningful collaborations between EdTech innovators and school district leaders. Who I help: I guide EdTech companies—new ventures or established names like Stride K12, aiEDU, Outlier (now Savvas), Gladeo, and more—to break through cold outreach fatigue and connect with decision-makers in a constructive, human-centered way. What I solve: Most vendors fall short because they lead with product pitches. I flip that approach—starting with empathy, preparation, and curiosity—to build trust and tailor solutions to district pressures and needs. It’s strategic outreach that becomes authentic partnership. Why it matters: I’ve personally delivered about $50M in sales across giants like McGraw Hill, C2 Education, Revolution Prep, Collegewise, Varsity Tutors, and Spark Education—earning a reputation as a top EdTech sales leader. Recent wins include: 🔹 National grant partnerships for aiEDU + Google to impact rural students across the US 🔹 Facilitating meetings with 80+ superintendents for Virtu.Academy 🔹 Building GTM strategies for Physics Wallah, TRUCE Software, and more (You can see them all in my profile) 📩 thejacobkantor@gmail.com | 📍 Based in LA | 🤝 Always happy to connect
