EDCAPIT currently brings together approximately 110 instructors and more than 110 courses. About 95% of its instructors are Ukrainian, while more than 60% of courses are offered in Ukrainian, helping educators reach learners internationally through a U.S.-based platform.

Podobied is a Ukrainian entrepreneur based in Silicon Valley whose work spans education technology, artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship and venture capital. Through EDCAPIT and ITCAPITAL Ventures, his current focus includes EdTech, workforce transformation and emerging technologies.
