Summary
Caleb Hicks is an education-focused founder and CEO with 11 years of experience building programs and products that help teachers and students succeed. A former classroom teacher and instructional design lead at Apple, he co-founded and ran Lambda School’s student-facing career program and later launched SchoolAI to deliver AI-powered data, workflow automation, and a teacher assistant that claims to save educators roughly 10 hours a week. Caleb blends hands-on curriculum design, operations, and product leadership to translate educator needs into scalable tools, and he’s also led nonprofit work (Factor) connecting high schoolers with industry mentors. Based in Lehi, Utah, he pairs classroom credibility with startup grit—often approaching school systems with the same CRM-style operational thinking used in enterprise software, but tailored to reduce teacher friction.
