Lee Bradshaw
CEO / Managing Partner
-
At Noodle Inc., as both its Chief Revenue and Chief Strategy Officer, Lee played a pivotal role in spearheading strategic initiatives that led to a significant 60% year-over-year revenue growth from 2017 through 2023. He led a robust sales team and was instrumental in architecting Noodle's innovative employer partnership model. This model successfully attracted first partners like Warby Parker, Vision Source, and Mon Healthcare, contributing to an expansion in customer segments for long-term financial success. Lee and the management team at Noodle secured a $50M Series C led by BlackRock with follow-on investments from Owl Ventures, SwaN Legend, Osage Venture Partners, Value Act, and Rethink Education.
Before his tenure at Noodle, Lee was an executive at 2U Inc., where he was responsible for securing new university partnerships leading up to and after its IPO in 2014. His earliest work at 2U on the technology team offered him the chance to collaborate with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google and MongoDB to build infrastructure with the IT teams at prestigious universities like Georgetown, Berkeley, and Yale. His efforts resulted in the deployment of more capex-eligible software in 18 months than in the previous five years of 2U’s operations.
Lee is an investor and advisory board member in edtech startups and sits on the advisors board of his alma mater’s business school.
