Startup School In Session w/ DiffyQ’s Susan Mahlburg

Welcome to the Good Friday edition of the Friday Nooner—though in truth, any Friday with a new Nooner episode is a good one. This week, Primordial’s Jenn Summe sat in Joe’s chair (literally) because the GrepBeat Godfather is on a Spring Break trip with his kids to the nation’s capital.

Our guest was Susan Mahlburg, the Founder and CEO of Durham-based DiffyQ, an edtech platform that helps teachers better focus on the needs of individual students. We first profiled DiffyQ last October, shortly after she earned a $10K MICRO grant from NC DEA and shortly before we saw her pitch as part of CED’s GRO Incubator Demo Day.

Also in 2023: Mahlburg participated in the Launch Chapel Hill accelerator and finished her MBA at UNC’s Kenan-Flagler, to go with her doctorate in education. Big year!
