I can't believe the day has come when we announce @theforage_ has agreed to be acquired by @EAB ! Forage's first-of-its-kind job simulations, millions of students, a network of universities of thousands, and it's hundreds of top employers around the world will help make EAB an unstoppable force in its mission to make education smarter and our communities stronger.
When I wrote up the code that invented the first virtual job simulation (we called them virtual internships back then), we couldn't have imagined the reach, impact and success we'd have. Who knew you could make a dent in large chunks of hiring cohorts, diversity outcomes, and impact so many personal lives with technology? It's exciting to be able to prove out that you're able to help people, do something unique and make a great business.
This journey has been crazy, and it hasn't been an easy or free ride getting here - but we wouldn't have gotten here without the fantastic team we've had - from exceptional engineers, product people, growth and marketing, to sales and more - with too many names and stories to share in this one post at the moment - thank you. Of course, thank you, my cofounder, @BrunskillTom , for driving this process and carrying this all through the last 7 to 8 years.
The future of @theforage_ is bright, and we are excited to see it move forward with @EAB !
