Josh Feinsilber is a young teen and 2019 high-school who created the learning site Gimkit, which was inspired by the popular quiz-like learning game, Kahoot. Feinsilber experienced Kahoot and decided to make a different and better type of app that is very personalized and oriented on achieving goals, so as to motivate students. At his small high school in the Seattle area, more weight is put on projects and hands-on activities than grades; he actually developed Gimkit originally as an independent study project. Now, Feinsilber is worth around $400,000 and Gimkit is worth around $23,000. The site has received criticism for its similarities to other apps and that it is subscription-based, but it has also received a lot a praise at the same time for its distinctive features and success: test scores from users have improved more than that of users of other similar platforms such as Kahoot and Quizlet. Also, the personalization aspect where teachers make “kits,” giving rewards when students master concepts and providing educators easy access to data telling student progress. Overall, Feinsilber used his entrepreneurial mindset to take an existing idea and improve it to make a better product for users.
