Alan Tripp

Alan Harvey Tripp (born 1 August1962) is an American entrepreneur who has successfully founded several private education companies, including SCORE! Educational Centers and InsideTrack.

Tripp received a bachelors in Economics in 1985 and an MBA in 1989, both from Stanford University. Tripp was a management consultant with Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and worked as an analyst for H&Q Technology Partners. He has also worked as a reporter and editor for "The Wall Street Journal".

In 1992, Tripp launched SCORE! Educational Centers, a provider of customized supplementary computer-based education services for children in kindergarten through tenth grade. Licensing issues concerning the adaptive software used by SCORE! limited Tripp's ability to expand beyond a maximum of 20 centers. When Kaplan, Inc. successfully negotiated for a national license for the software, Tripp decided to sell SCORE! On 17 April, 1996, Kaplan acquired SCORE! in a deal worth less than $10 million USD. Tripp stayed on as general manager and helped open nearly 100 centers with more than 1,500 employees. The company is now a unit of The Washington Post Company.

In 1999, Tripp incorporated InsideTrack. InsideTrack provides universities with solutions for increasing enrollment and graduation rates through executive-style student coaching programs. In addition to his management activities at InsideTrack, Tripp was a lecturer at the Stanford Graduate Schools of Business and Education from 1999 to 2004, where he co-taught the core course for education entrepreneurs. Tripp also acts as Board Chair for the non-profit website, GreatSchools.net.
