Karen Borchert

Karen Borchert is the founder and CEO of Alpaca, a company with a mission to make it easier to support teachers. Karen has her teaching degree in education, but most of her career is as an entrepreneur, helping to grow high trust, highly aligned teams. 

Alpaca believes that asking teachers more about what they need, acting on those sentiments, and creating a way to show gratitude could change the way teachers feel about work. 

Today, Alpaca supports thousands of teachers. Their unique model of semantic pulse surveys, and turn-key teacher recognition programs offers a new way to support educators.
