About the Episode
The what's what...
In a moment, you'll meet TK Gondo - Co-Founder and CEO of Polygon Students - a software platform for college and university resident life teams to manage, grow and retain their residence communities.
TK was born in Zimbabwe, but moved to Essex in the UK when he was just 4 years old. In grade school, he thought he'd be a pilot, but by the time he was in high school, he was determined to join the military.
He trained physically and mentally for two years in hopes of joining the British Armed Forces, but was ultimately denied due to an unforeseen medical condition.
Unsure of what he was supposed to do with his life, he enrolled in university and decided to study English literature. TK wasn't thriving in school, so he dropped out and moved to Barcelona to work in business development at a financial services firm.
But then, TK was bit by the entrepreneurship bug and the entire trajectory of his life changed. Listen in to hear the story of how an English literature university drop-out built one of the most exciting new startups in the edtech space today.
About the Podcast
Zach is the Founder of Enrollify. He thoroughly enjoys building new brands, developing and executing content marketing strategies, and hosting podcasts. When he's not working on Enrollify, he enjoys discussing life's quandaries over coffee (or a good bourbon) with friends, building Sponstayneous (his travel brand side hustle), trying out new HIIT workouts, and adventuring across the globe with his wife!
Born in Zimbabwe, moved to the UK when I was 4 1/2. Dropped out of an English literature, language and communication degree. Fell in love with technology and wanted to fix the problem I experienced first-hand of dropping out of university due to not feeling at home on campus. Building Polygon to help universities, colleges and community colleges retain students in their residence halls and increase the room & board revenue they've struggled with over the pandemic.
