Co-Founder & CTO at ActivityHero - Expanded Learning Solutions

I’m incredibly excited to share a major milestone for the ActivityHero family — we have now joined the Aeries Software family! My co-founder, Peggy Chang, and I started ActivityHero 14 years ago with a mission to give every child access to high-quality out-of-school enrichment programs. California’s ELO-P funding helped bring that vision closer to reality under the guidance of Michael Funk and support from California AfterSchool Network. And now, by joining forces with Aeries Software — one of the most trusted platforms in K–12 education — we have an incredible opportunity to better connect in-school and out-of-school learning experiences and support the whole child in a more meaningful way. It truly takes a village. This milestone was only possible because of the hard work, resilience, and dedication of the entire ActivityHero team, our development partner Ccube along with the support of our investors, advisors, partners, and customers. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who believed in us and stood by us through all the highs and lows that come with building a company.
