Tyler Sweatt Is Trying to Give the Pentagon Its Time Back
A West Point cadet on 9/11 became an Army officer who learned that urgency and equipment do not always arrive together. Now he runs Second Front by treating government software’s most expensive problem as a problem of time.
Noah Freedman
Noah Freedman is the co-founder and CEO of Nucleos, a public benefit company that builds secure, tablet-powered learning systems for people inside U.S. jails and prisons. What started as PortableCloud - an offline education project for under-resourced schools in India, Zimbabwe and Kenya - pivoted hard after an incarcerated colleague showed Freedman that the same digital divide existed inside American corrections. Today his Achieve DXP platform handles the roughly 95% of mainstream e-learning that prisons can't otherwise allow for security reasons, tracking courses and credentials so people can walk out with a path to a job. A Princeton public-policy grad who ran global e-learning software at Stanford's Graduate School of Education, Freedman has turned a quiet conviction about second chances into a working business that's free for the facilities that use it.
