GAINESVILLE, Fla., April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Meteor Education is proud to announce a new partnership with the National Coalition of Certification Centers (NC3), joining NC3’s network of industry partners to help expand access to industry-recognized certifications to the secondary education market.

NC3 is the national leader in advancing career and technical education (CTE) through strong partnerships between education providers and industry. With a network of more than 2,000 education institutions and organizations, NC3 has supported 430,000+ students and delivered more than one million industry-driven, stackable certifications aligned to national skills standards.

Through this partnership, Meteor Education will play a unique role in extending NC3’s certification delivery into the secondary school market. By partnering directly with NC3 to expand professional development, Meteor Education will now support secondary schools in implementing and delivering select Festo certifications that employers value and recognize.

This approach helps bridge a critical gap between access to hands-on learning experiences and career readiness requirements, enabling districts to more effectively build and sustain high-quality, career-connected learning pathways that are grounded in their local economies.

“We’re seeing a clear shift, schools are being asked to deliver outcomes that extend well beyond the classroom,” said Bill Latham, CEO of Meteor Education. “What we hear consistently from our customers is that the difference between offering industry certifications and delivering them well comes down to how prepared and supported their instructors are. Schools want to do this right, and they need partners who can equip their educators at a high level. NC3 is head and shoulders above in this regard. Their commitment to training, preparation, and ongoing support for instructors is unmatched and gives schools the confidence to deliver certifications with real rigor and integrity. We’re privileged to be working with NC3 and excited to join them in this work.”

Meteor Education’s model of embedding expert educators into school systems will allow NC3 certifications to be delivered with greater consistency and scalability across the secondary market – supporting both instructors and students in achieving stronger outcomes.

“NC3 is thrilled to partner with Meteor Education to expand access to STEM, manufacturing, and automation certifications across the secondary education system. Additionally, their expertise in designing engaging and functional learning environments will be a tremendous asset to our network of schools,” said Craig Foucht, NC3 Director of Development. “Together, we’re empowering the next generation of learners with the skills, spaces, and certifications they need to succeed in the modern workforce.”

Together, Meteor Education and NC3 are strengthening the connection between education and industry by expanding access to high-quality certifications, supporting educators, and helping students gain the skills and credentials needed for college and career success, while contributing to the growth and vitality of their local economy.

Where Oil and Gas Digital Marketing Meets Publishing

Allstream Energy Partners has developed an agency-plus-publisher model combining digital marketing, content creation, industry communications, media publishing, executive networking, and business development.

Each founder brings 27 years of experience supporting sales, business development, capital projects, technical services, industrial marketing, and digital strategy.

This experience gives Allstream an understanding of how technical buyers evaluate suppliers, how projects move through the market, and how engineering, procurement, operations, and executive teams consume information.

As AI becomes an important starting point for supplier research and vendor discovery, Allstream helps organizations evolve beyond traditional SEO.

Krelva Accepted Into the HBS Foundry Bootcamp at Harvard Business School

Published

September 12, 2026

By

Foster Britton spent four years learning to trade. Jerry Klamm grew a website to $100,000 a month in high school. Their bootstrapped, pre-launch company, Krelva, joins the new program in October and opens Krelva Meet, small live rooms where day traders trade the market together at their respective skill levels.

BUFFALO, N.Y., Sept. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Krelva, a bootstrapped, pre-launch Buffalo company built for futures day traders, has been accepted into the HBS Foundry Bootcamp at Harvard Business School, a new online program for founders working toward their first check. Foster Britton started trading in 10th grade, at 15, before settling on futures trading. Jerry Klamm, 19, built Geometry Spot at 16, grew it to more than 175 million pageviews and $100,000 a month in revenue before he finished high school, and left the University at Buffalo to run Krelva full time.

“Krelva Meet is the room I wish I had at 15.” Foster Britton, co-founder, Krelva

Krelva exists because of how hard Britton’s first four years were. Trading is highly complex, the internet is full of people teaching it, and most of what a beginner finds is confusing, contradictory, or sold by someone with something to sell. The question is never whether there is enough information. It is where to start and who to listen to.

“I started trading in 10th grade, in forex before anything else, and it took me four years to get it right,” Britton said. “It was not that the charts were hard. It was that there is so much online, most of it is confusing, and there is no way to know where to start or who to listen to.”

Today Krelva has two things. The first is a free beginner course that shows people where to start; it teaches the basics without promising anyone a payday. The second is Krelva Meet, which opens in October at $50 a month with a 14-day free trial: a new way to trade Nasdaq-100 and S&P 500 futures, not alone and not in a crowd of strangers, but in a small live room with people at your own verified level.

Krelva Meet started with a frustration anyone who has spent time in a trading Discord will recognize. People post their results, and some of those results are real. Screenshots are easy to fake, a few prop firms now issue verified payout cards, and none of it tells a beginner whether the person answering their question is actually where they say they are. So the beginner guesses, and the loudest voice usually wins.

Krelva Meet checks. Every trader has a level that Krelva verifies before they enter a room, and the company is building direct brokerage verification so the check happens automatically. Rooms are built from traders at the same level. Someone who has never passed a prop firm evaluation sits with others who have not either. Pass one, and you move up to rooms with traders who have passed. Get paid out, and you move up again. Alongside the rooms, Krelva is launching a rating: simple, earned over time, and moved by how you answer questions during the session rather than by what you claim. Rooms are not a signal service and tell no one what to buy or sell. They are about the process: reading the market before the open, talking it through with people at your level, and finding out afterward where and why you were right or wrong.

Krelva does not claim to make anyone a better trader faster. It is trying to give people a place to start.

“Krelva Meet is the room I wish I had at 15,” Britton said.

The HBS Foundry Bootcamp at Harvard Business School has drawn attention since its launch for its $699 price and its format, which from Krelva’s understanding pairs weekly live sessions with HBS faculty and guests with AI versions of those same professors, built to push back on weak ideas.

“I’m interested in this new program at Harvard Business School. I think using AI tools to learn is the future, but I’m curious to see how Harvard does it and if it actually works,” Klamm said. “I like that it says the AI professors are built to challenge weak ideas, so I’m going to push it to the limit and see how it performs compared to a real professor.”

The waitlist for Krelva Meet is open now at https://krelva.com.

“Most traders look at the chart at 9:30 every morning by themselves. There are thousands of other traders just like you,” Klamm said. “Why would you trade alone if you could trade with a group you trust? That is the whole idea.”

About Krelva

Krelva is a Buffalo, New York company built for futures day traders. Its free beginner course, built by co-founder Foster Britton, teaches the basics of trading. Its paid product, Krelva Meet, puts traders in small live rooms with other traders at the same verified level to trade Nasdaq-100 and S&P 500 futures together, for $50 a month with a 14-day free trial. Krelva was founded in 2026 by Jerry Klamm and Foster Britton. Learn more at https://krelva.com.
