Yana S.

Economist · EdTech Sector Analyst

Yana is completing a PhD in economics. Before academia she worked at investment firms as a sector analyst, where her coverage list included edtech companies, services aimed at college students, and the adult-learner market. That seat gave her a close-up view of which companies in the credit-by-exam and alternative-credential space actually move the needle for students, and which ones are mostly good at marketing. She interned at UPI Study once and now writes here part-time, applying the same analytical lens she brought to investing.
