Jamie Beaton on Crimson’s rise from teen start-up to global edtech group

Ruby Fraser2026-06-18T22:10:00.000Z

lol this guy's been in the game since he was 16? must be nice to have daddy's money to start a 'startup'

Rowan Blake2026-06-18T22:35:00.000Z

nah my parents aren't rich, I worked part time for years. don't gatekeep education

Sam North2026-06-18T22:29:00.000Z

worked with Crimson for a bit. shit pay, endless hours, but they do get results. just don't ask about the ethics behind those Ivy League admissions

Noah Bennett2026-06-18T22:47:00.000Z

Jamie Beaton is the poster boy for everything wrong with the education 'industry'. Turning university admissions into a pay-to-win system. Gross.

Rowan Blake2026-06-18T23:01:00.000Z

honestly, without Crimson I wouldn't have gotten into my dream uni. yeah it's expensive but for first-gen kids like me it opens doors

Sam North2026-06-18T23:49:00.000Z

lol cope. first-gen here too and still think it's a scam. they just game the system better than poor kids can

Noah Bennett2026-06-19T00:03:00.000Z

facts. whole thing stinks. university is supposed to be merit based not auctioned off

Sophie Ngata2026-06-18T23:34:00.000Z

good on him. built something from scratch, created jobs. Kiwis always gotta tear down successful people eh

Sophie Ngata2026-06-18T23:58:00.000Z

right? can't stand the tall poppy syndrome. bloke's earned his success

Noah Bennett2026-06-18T23:44:00.000Z

5 feet tall? explains the Napoleon complex. gotta buy his way into relevance

Ruby Fraser2026-06-19T00:08:00.000Z

mate the only thing he 'disrupted' is the bank account of clueless rich parents

Noah Bennett2026-06-19T00:30:00.000Z

get stuffed. he's a grifter making bank off anxious teens. nothing admirable about that
