At the start of Year 3, the employee decides to resign.

Suddenly, the same company that was “budget constrained” offers 250,000 to make him stay.

He still leaves.
Joins another company at 200,000

Not because money didn’t matter.
But because respect 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲.

For 2 years, he delivered results.
For 2 years, he proved his worth.
Yet his value was only recognized 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆.

That’s when it hit him:

“So the budget was always there… just not for me.”

Know your worth.
And don’t wait for a resignation email to be valued.

This is pure rhetoric. For 60 years, all previous PMs paid less than RM60 million a year to Sabah.

Only after Anwar became PM, Sabah received RM600 MILLION, 10 times more than before while the court decides on their 40% rights. The audacity to question him, while all the previous PMs and parties walked free.

The dirty little secret of edtech: the biggest names don’t actually care if you learn anything.

As co-founder of Udemy, it is something I reckon with every day…

Duolingo - edtech’s only decacorn, worth $14B. Brilliant app, addictive product, and great for motivation. But let’s be honest: most users can’t hold a basic conversation in their chosen language. It’s a game, not an education.

Masterclass - it’s called “edutainment” for a reason. Great brand and team. But not useful for serious learning.

Udemy/Coursera opened access to millions, but video courses have a fatal flaw: they only work for the most motivated. 4-10% completion rates! I still get DMs about their positive impact, but still average person doesn’t view them as mainstream solutions to education.

Kajabi/Teachable nailed creator monetization. But many (not all) creators don’t prioritize outcomes — just sales. Too many $5,000 “get rich quick” courses with spammy marketing. There are gems, of course, but still not enough quality for mainstream acceptance.

Then there’s University of Phoenix, the worst offender. It proved you could tap federal student loans, deliver poor outcomes, and keep billions in revenue.

Ironically, the best education models — coding bootcamps like App Academy, BloomTech, General Assembly, Galvanize — actually drove real outcomes. But they didn’t quite reach scale. In large part due to unfair (and immoral, imho) practices by the higher education cartel.

Here’s the thing: everyone in this space starts with good intentions.

I know the teams at Duolingo, Udemy, and others. They care. But the incentives of Edtech 1.0 pushed everyone toward engagement and monetization instead of real learning.

Public investors eventually caught on. Consumer growth stalled, B2B slowed, and valuations dropped. Coursera/Udemy are each ~$700M (!!) in annual revenue, but trade at 1.5-2.5x multiples (!!). It is a hard time in edtech.

We need Edtech 2.0.

The next generation needs to deliver real learning outcomes AND high engagement.

There’s a number of companies trying - of course I believe Maven is one of them.

To build multiple $10B+ companies in education, we need to care deeply about whether people actually learn. American competitiveness is literally reliant on rebuilding our education system.

AI is about to trigger the largest upskilling need in modern history. The opportunity is massive — and this time, we can get it right.

It may not seem like it, but I’m optimistic. Out from the ashes of Edtech 1.0 will rise Edtech 2.0. The new generation is going to deliver value, and make people believe again.

I see a complete silence on this matter from the mainstream media even if it has reached 1.8 million views in Twitter. No one bothered to check with the mother or PDRM in this matter.

Just thinking about this. Masa I jobless, I tried working in retail, masa tu my knowledge or experiences tak matter at all. I was nothing compare to this people on their feet long hours doing their work expertly. It humbled me. Semua orang yg cari rezeki hebat.
