Nguyen recalls a conversation with Luis von Ahn , founder of Duolingo , who turned down a direct offer from Bill Gates to work at Microsoft so that he could teach : “ Being an immigrant from Guatemala taught him the importance of equal access to education . He founded Duolingo because he wants to provide the best education and make it universally available .”
