Leaders in Flow

Join us for an inspiring conversation with Kim Rantz, CEO and co-founder of Alice Tech, an AI-driven learning platform for university and high school students. Formerly an associate partner at McKinsey & Company and a university lecturer for over a decade, Kim left a successful consulting career to bet on AI in education. We talk about the "regret minimization" mindset that drove his leap into entrepreneurship, how he and his co-founder went from idea to a funded company in six weeks, his experience at Y Combinator in San Francisco where the entire team relocated for 11 weeks, the discipline of having "no Plan B," and the cultural contrasts between Danish caution and American blue-sky ambition. Kim also shares his vision for personalized, responsible AI in education — moving beyond the one-size-fits-all "broadcasting model" of teaching toward learning experiences that reduce student stress and support genuine understanding rather than shortcuts.Resources Kim mentions and recommends for aspiring founders and educators include Y Combinator (ycombinator.com) for early-stage startup acceleration, and Alice Tech (Alice.tech) to explore the platform itself.
