BTSM is an expansion of Veal’s education and tutoring organization, INC Education.
The organization looks to connect with Black-owned private tutoring companies to help provide their services to BIPOC communities nationwide.
BTSM manages a directory of tutors and resources for students of all ages across STEM and other various subjects.

“I started my journey knocking door to door, grassroots, bootstrap, no venture capital.
No Series A funding,” Veal said.
“My first year was a little rough, but I had the grit to keep going.”

In the beginning, Veal was a sole tutor, which he said was a struggle.
His tutoring brand now has 110 tutoring consultants across five cities and the nonprofit has 13 members and growing.
The edtech company offers free tutoring to BIPOC students in disadvantaged areas.
Hardships and Expansion
Veal said he’s struggled to fund his ventures and gain government contracts.
Veal hasn’t raised any venture capital to date.
With BTSM, Veal said it has been hard finding Black-owned tutoring companies to add to its portfolio.
Despite hardship, Veal is focusing on connecting with companies to expand his company’s platform.
