Jacob Kapustin was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. His older brother, Ilya, who has special needs, significantly influenced Jacob’s life. Their father, a former math teacher and assistant principal in the Ukraine, became a special education teacher upon moving to America. As a first-generation American, Jacob helped his family advocate for Ilya throughout his schooling, navigating the complexities of the special education system, especially for parents with language barriers.

In 2015, Jacob started Knowledge Road, following his passion for business, which his father recognized in him. He worked on the company part-time for four years before transitioning to full-time in the spring preceding the 2019/2020 school year. Since then, he built Knowledge Road into a multi-million-dollar business headquartered in midtown Manhattan.
