We’ve just raised a $350m round led by @blackstone. @katiedjennings had a great write up about our ambitions.

1/ I came to this country 10 years ago on an H1B visa. In this period I started 2 companies: @udemy and @CarbonHealth. Udemy now employs ~700 people, provides ongoing income to 50k instructors and improves employability of tens of millions of Americans by helping close skill gaps 2/ @CarbonHealth employs ~350 ppl and will create 10s of thousands of jobs + health care access in many underserved communities. In addition to working on the frontlines of the pandemic, we have been helping companies reopen safely and thus retain employees.
