Check out the pitch deck that persuaded Stripe backer Union Square Ventures to invest in a 22-year-old's virtual high school

Virtual high school startup Sora recently announced it had raised $2.7 million in a seed funding round backed by the likes of Twitter and Stripe investor Union Square Ventures.

Founded in 2019, long before COVID-19 forced millions of students around the world to switch to remote learning, Sora is effectively an online private school, which offers students one-to-one tutorials and helps them design their own personalized curricula. The firm was set up by Garrett Smiley, a 22-year-old Atlanta native, and friends Indra Sofian and Wesley Samples. The school currently has 39 participants, each paying between $300 and $800 a month.
