Summary
Jonathon Bloomfield is an education-first founder and software practitioner with eight years of experience building tools and programs that blend teaching, tech, and equity. He founded Edventive to give teachers back evenings and weekends with productivity and AI literacy tools, and recently launched Upskailed to demystify practical AI for business leaders. His background spans classroom teaching, curriculum design, web development instruction, and hands-on engineering—building job scrapers with Puppeteer and a Postgres-backed jobs platform that scaled to 30,000 listings across 550 cities. Jonathon combines a science foundation (Honours BSc in Chemistry) and a teaching degree with a web development diploma and leadership training, which helps him translate complex technical concepts into usable learning experiences. Active in community roles—from moderating BLACC to mentoring at Lighthouse Labs and serving as Entrepreneur in Residence with Black Founders Network—he focuses on making tech accessible to students and underrepresented founders. Notably, he pairs data-driven product work with on-the-ground program management experience, so his solutions are as practical as they are pedagogically sound.
