Ariel Bach, one of the ambitious founders of Bach Bros Studio, is on a mission to transform how complex academic research is shared with the public. Through a unique approach of interviewing prominent professors and sharing their insights across platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, Bach Bros Studio aims to make academic knowledge accessible, engaging, and globally impactful.


The Birth of Bach Bros Studio


The idea for Bach Bros Studio emerged when Ariel’s father, who attended classes at Harvard, attempted to explain complex research topics he learned in class. Ariel found the explanations too complex and thought, "Why not ask the professors directly to simplify their findings?" From this spark, Bach Bros Studio was born.

“We bring the research findings from top professors to the public by having kids like me interview them. It’s a win-win: I learn, and so does our audience,” Ariel shares.


How It Works


Bach Bros Studio:

  • Interviews world-renowned professors on topics ranging from single-cell genomics to applied mathematics.

  • Simplifies and records the conversations.

  • Publishes the educational content across social platforms and a dedicated app.


To date, Ariel and his team have interviewed many professors, delving deep into academic topics and presenting them in a relatable way for audiences.


Tackling the Social Media Void


Ariel feels strongly about the lack of meaningful educational content on social platforms. He explains:

“Billions of people, especially kids, waste time on meaningless content. Bach Bros Studio wants to change that by inspiring learning through engaging and thought-provoking videos.”


His passion for education drives the studio's content strategy, ensuring every post carries value and promotes learning.


The Challenges and Lessons


Building a startup is no easy task, especially at Ariel's young age. He cites rejection—whether from investors or professors—as the most significant challenge. However, he approaches setbacks with a growth mindset:

“I reflect on what went wrong, learn from it, and improve. Perseverance and flexibility are key.”


Despite using basic equipment and receiving some rejections, Ariel remains optimistic and committed to his mission. He leverages AI tools like ChatGPT for learning and running his business, demonstrating the potential of technology in overcoming resource constraints.


Advice for Young Entrepreneurs


Ariel’s advice is simple but powerful:

  1. Embrace Technology: Learn and utilize tools like AI to run your business efficiently.

  2. Adopt a Growth Mindset: View setbacks as opportunities to learn and grow.

  3. Stay Flexible: Be open to new ideas and willing to pivot if necessary.


The Dream and Next Steps


Bach Bros Studio has grand ambitions:

  • Global Impact: Ariel aims to bring high-quality education to underserved regions, ensuring even the most remote areas have access to world-class learning.

  • Expansion: With the Formidable Fund Grant, Ariel plans to invest in professional-grade cameras, editing equipment, and eventually hire staff to elevate their production quality.


“My dream is to make a significant part of the global population more educated, bridging the gap between regions with high and low educational standards,” Ariel explains.
