In 2013, Regnault Sanders was taking college classes and working part-time. Juggling both was exhausting and made him realize that school is like a full-time job. Well, if school is like working a full-time job, then why not get paid for it? This insight sparked an idea that led to a revolutionary product. Regnault founded Schoolconomy in 2022.

Schoolconomy is an education technology company that rewards students and teachers with enriching experiences and products to incentivize good grades and behavior in school. Reganult believes that every student and teacher deserves to be recognized for their hard work and achievements, and he has developed a unique platform that connects local and global brands directly to students, helping them create lasting relationships with impressionable youth.
