Read it:

Boston, New Orleans and the Santa Clara Valley, 1976 to 2026. A hedge fund analyst tutors a twelve-year-old cousin in New Orleans over a telephone line and a shared browser notepad, starts recording the lessons so she can watch them when he is at work, and discovers that she prefers the recording to him. He posts the recordings publicly, keeps his day job for three more years, then incorporates a charity with no revenue model and quits. What follows is not a company story. It is the story of an organization that must answer, over and over and in public, what it actually is — a library, a school, a research program, a philanthropy's instrument — and of the gap between the people it counts and the people it teaches. Covers Salman Khan and Khan Academy.
