Who we are
Ariel Renous and Roy Wellner, two lifelong friends with a passion for business, started their educational journey in a renowned European business school. They quickly realized there was a disconnect: many of their instructors were academics that lacked real-world experience.
Frustrated by the offering, they saw a genuine need for a new kind of business education, one that was in tune with the demands of today 's professionals and taught by those with firsthand experience in business.
That was the seed from which Augment grew. Partnering with experts in business education and world-class entrepreneurs from companies like Wikipedia, YouTube, Waze, and Shazam, they crafted an innovative MBA program.
Augment’s approach is to reshape education by leveraging online tools to offer high-quality business knowledge straight from the minds of our brightest business leaders.
