Paul Miller and a group of 5 friends came to the Young Foundation with an idea that everybody has something to teach and everybody has something to learn in 2007.

Aiming to do for education what YouTube has done for television, or what eBay did for retail, School of Everything is a website that links people who can teach what they know to people who can learn what they don't.

The Young Foundation gave School of Everything their seed funding, the office space to begin work and worked with them on everything from their business model, their strategy and how to raise capital.

Paul says: "Without the Young Foundation we would never have got started. For me the stand out thing was having people we could bounce ideas off and get advice from who had seen it all before."

Since its launch in September 2008, School of Everything continues to go from strength to strength with over 10,000 members (as of January 2009) and counting.

Last year, School of Everything won a New Statesman New Media Award, and a prestigious UK Catalyst Award, that recognises the use of technology to make a positive social impact.
