Meet the founder
Lisa Donbavand
Founder & AI Consultant for Education Businesses · Technology & Operations Strategist · Small-Business Owner
Lisa spent 21 years as a homeschool and private teacher, from 2003 through 2024. She understands that education is deeply human work—and that the people supporting schools often carry an enormous amount of research, communication, planning, and administrative work behind the scenes.
She also ran a business from 2000 through 2025. Over those 25 years, she gained hands-on experience with the realities of business ownership: marketing, sales, social media content, websites, customer communication, operations, and the constant challenge of accomplishing more with limited time and resources.
Today, Lisa brings those experiences together with her background in computer science, technology, operations, and applied AI. She creates research systems, custom tools, AI-assisted workflows, marketing resources, GPTs, and automations for educational sales representatives, publishers, consultants, and small organizations serving schools.
Her goal is not to add more technology to your work. It is to understand what is taking too much time, find the friction in the process, and create something useful enough to make a genuine difference.
