eGroup April Forum - The SEQTA Story with Grant and Sharon Grosser!
Hi Everyone!
For our eGroup April forum next Tuesday, we have Grant & Sharon Grosser from SEQTA!
Grant and Sharon Grosser, both former teachers, are co-founders of Saron Education, T/A SEQTA Software. Grant and Sharon will share SEQTA’s journey, of a startup that became highly successful and now a company employing over 60 dedicated staff, with satellite offices in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Singapore and providing solutions in over 420 schools for more than 22,000 teachers in every state and territory of Australia, as well as recently entering the international education market.
Having quit his ‘safe’ job of Deputy Principal at a large K-12 private school, Grant literally stepped off a cliff when he took the decision to start a business to help teachers, his only parachute being the idea that had the potential to revolutionise teachers’ workloads. And Sharon wasn’t about to be just a passenger! She was actively involved from the start, and played a crucial role in establishing the culture that exists at SEQTA.
In this, the 10th year of SEQTA, Grant and Sharon tell their story candidly, reflecting on the successes, the mistakes, the personal challenges and sharing insights into the rough and tumble of startup land.
