Cristian Frunze, a 17-year-old entrepreneur from Moldova with an online educational business Smart Curs passed 50,000 students last year, and who nows became a growth partner for course creators & educational brands by founding Ken Group.

In this interview Cristian shares his journey in building two successful businesses, while still in high school. Frunze shares how he used business strategies and tech automation to scale SmartCurs, an online educational platform with more than 50,000 students, and turn it into a free resource.
