In the Studio, Quizlets Andrew Sutherland Quietly Built A Classroom Juggernaut

Screen shot 2012-10-16 at 10.48.00 AM"In the Studio" welcomes someone who created a project during his sophomore year of high school, released it to the world two years later, spent three years in college before dropping out to work on the company full-time, and now, almost eight years later, is continuing to build technologies and products for millions of students and teachers worldwide.Andrew Sutherland, the founder and CTO of Quizlet, has an incredible entrepreneurial story. At age 15, while in his second year of high school, he developed a web program to help him better prepare for a quiz. He scored a 100%, and kept building the product. Two years later, he launched the product to the public, enrolled in MIT, and was both a student and founder of a fast-growing company. Three years into college, Sutherland moved back to San Francisco (where the company had located under his CEO, Dave Margulius), and since then, there's no looking back for Quizlet.
