Founder Story

The Story of Stemuli…

We are a female-founded and minority-led company, and our core mission is to ensure every student graduates career and workforce ready. Our mission is powered by our leaders’ personal experiences with the education system and its lack of workforce preparation. Taylor is the 94th Black woman in the history of the world to have raised over $1M in venture capital, but we recognize that’s not enough. We exist to bridge the opportunity gap for minorities and those of low socioeconomic backgrounds to ensure all learners graduate.

CEO and Founder, Taylor Shead, is an award winning, serial entrepreneur focused on the intersection of education and technology over the last 12 years. She’s linked arms with Charlotte Duncan, children’s media and gaming expert, and Prasad “Pram” Ram, former web-development director of Google Maps, to create the Stemuli Educational Metaverse.

Creating jobs and changing lives is the DNA of our company. Taylor is the 94th Black woman in the history of the world to have raised over $1M in venture capital, but we recognize that’s not enough. We exist to bridge the opportunity gap for minorities and those of low socioeconomic backgrounds to ensure all learners graduate pro-workforce ready to serve in high-salary leadership positions.
