We're proud to share that Crimson Education co-founder Fangzhou Jiang has published his new book: Classroom CEO: Think Like an Entrepreneur, Thrive as a Student and Turn Ambition into Results. Built around Fangzhou's CEO Flywheel framework — Character, Execution, and Outreach — the book draws on everything he's learned from working with thousands of students across the world, the world's top universities, and the Crimson community. The core principle: academic achievement matters, but the students who truly thrive are the ones who develop an entrepreneurial mindset. The ability to think across disciplines, take calculated risks, communicate with impact, and execute with precision. If you're a student, a parent, or an educator thinking about what preparation really looks like in 2026 and beyond, this is a practical and timely read. Classroom CEO is available in print, digital, and audiobook formats. Amazon: https://lnkd.in/gscZH4yY #ClassroomCEO #CrimsonEducation #StudentSuccess #FutureOfEducation #Leadership

Congratulations to our CEO & co-founder Jamie Beaton on completing his ELEVENTH university degree — this time from Cornell! 🎓 Jamie’s journey is a testament to lifelong learning. Having studied at institutions including Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, and now Cornell, he's developed rare first-hand perspective to help guide our Crimson students to highly selective universities. We’re proud to celebrate this milestone and the example Jamie sets for our team and the students we serve around the world.
I am excited to graduate from Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences with a Master of Science in Health Policy and Economics. At Harvard University I stumbled into a class on global health and nutrition in freshman year by accident following a classmate and discovered a fascinating field. That initial academic experience led me to pursue a secondary in Global Health and Healthcare Policy. Perhaps alongside only education, healthcare stands as one of the most critical ways to level up a society and is one of the most enduring promises of most Western governments. I decided back then in college that at some stage I wanted to dig a lot deeper into my passion for healthcare. In almost every Western country, dissatisfaction with our healthcare systems are reaching a fever pitch. Growing up in New Zealand, we always considered our healthcare system to be world class, accessible and quite a badge of national pride. In recent years, the system has experienced growing strain similar to the National Health Service. With aging demographics, record debt levels and growing life expectancy, a thorny problem exists to navigate. I loved learning about the sprawling array of differing healthcare delivery models around the world, innovations in telemedicine, new funding models, the trade-offs of allowing private investors and private healthcare providers into markets, the drivers of massive US drug prices compared to the rest of the world as well as differences in healthcare delivery in countries like China. A huge thanks to all the incredible faculty at Cornell for a brilliant academic experience and my classmates from all over the world. I can't wait to see the impact you make in your countries!

Thank you to Madison Malone for sharing the story of our explosive growth over the last 11 years. We're just getting started 🔥
Education Unicorn: Crimson Education is closing in on NZ$1 billion in sales since inception - almost one third of that (NZ$300m) was earned in the past year. The company, co-founded by Jamie Beaton, Sharndré Kushor & Fangzhou Jiang in 2013, has been valued at NZ$1 billion (US$600 million) and has raised NZ$150 million from investors including Tiger Global & Verlinvest. But could the value of its core business, getting kids around the world into Ivy league institutions, be destroyed by AI, or disrupted by protests & politics. In this episode in New York, CEO Jamie Beaton takes inside the prestigious Columbia University to see inside the changing world of education institutions. Plus we meet one of Crimson's Kiwi alumni Soumil Singh to hear how Harvard University has changed the trajectory of his life. We discuss: - Jamie's own insane learning journey (he has 10 degrees & counting! From Harvard University , Stanford University , Yale University , University of Pennsylvania , King's College London & more) - Cracking the admissions acceptance code: Crimson's industry leading stats - Crimson's expansion & acquisitions (across countries, age brackets and services) - Education v Experience: How Crimson students get into OpenAI & Tesla - The value of higher education: Why The Network Effect is so powerful - Pricing education in the age of AI: Would Crimson consider taking a cut of income/ideas instead of a fee, like Y Combinator does with entrepreneurs? - How politics plays a part in education in America - Why Jamie wants more people to start companies & "eat the glass" Thanks to the NZUS Council for making this episode possible through its Media Fellowship programme.
