Monday and Tuesday was TechCrunch50, a conference held in the US by the blog TechCrunch, with speakers, startup presentations and prizes. A type of festival of innovative businesses that are candidates for success. Hytle, from Curitiba, was the only Brazilian participant this time around.

Hytle - Here you teach and learn everything
Hytle intends to be an online community where you can teach and learn everything. Users can edit, produce, publish and sell any kind of educational content (pre-formatted courses are resold). Those courses that are not online already can be developed and sold on the site. It can be compared to Mercado Livre or eBay.

For the founders of Hytle, Jose Rodolpho Bernardoni and Leonardo Lenz, the site offers the possibility to teach  and spread knowledge in every place that has a computer with an internet connection. In addition it serves as a place where there is a concentration of educational content. “In Brazil there are places where the technology has arrived, but access to schools and knowledge in general is still quite difficult. The goal with Hytle is to let people share the things they know and learn about things that haven’t reached them yet,” says Bernardoni.
