Nitesh Goel Built a Wall. Teachers Turned It Into a World.
A student project, a surprise bandwidth bill and one stubbornly simple idea became Padlet - the visual canvas now used by 40 million people around the world.
Padlet
Padlet is a San Francisco- and Singapore-based software company behind the popular collaborative platform of the same name, where users post text, images, links, files, and audio to shared digital bulletin boards called 'padlets'. Founded in 2008 as Wallwisher by Nitesh Goel and Pranav Piyush, the company grew into one of education technology's most widely used tools, reporting tens of millions of monthly active users - most of them teachers and students. It has since expanded beyond bulletin boards into an infinite-canvas whiteboard called Sandbox and a suite of AI creation tools, while remaining a small, largely bootstrapped team.
