About us
We believe that teachers know their students best, and are uniquely suited to create incredible learning experiences for their classrooms. They just need the right supports.
By combining our collective decades of education experience with a commitment to listening to and empowering the teachers we serve, we are building a platform to save teachers and help them to get “just right”, high quality instructional materials and activities for their students.
Learn more about our founders:
Adam Black | Co-Founder & CPO
(TFA, SRI, Schoolzilla, Summit Public Schools)
Adam's second grade co-teachers, Mrs. Bixby and Mrs. Wallace, made him fall in love with school and dream of being a teacher when he grew up.
He did become a teacher - but after a year realized how insanely hard teaching is and set out to make life easier for educators using data and technology.
Adam couldn’t be more excited to be collaborating with teachers to build Diffit!
Vlad Gutkovich | Co-Founder & CEO
(Seesaw, Flocabulary, Schoolzilla)
As an immigrant and English Learner coming up in NYC public schools, Vlad saw the impact of differentiation and strong teacher-student relationships first hand.
In fact, he loved his 4th grade teacher so much, he named his guinea pig “Terri” after her :)
Years later, Vlad would go on to help build widely-loved education companies Flocabulary, Schoolzilla, Seesaw… and now, Diffit.
