General Academic’s history is one of young adulthood and the continual pursuit of the next adventure. High school friends Shelby Joe and Rahul Gupta incorporated General Academic on August 11, 2003, in Jackson, Mississippi just a few weeks before leaving for their freshmen years at Rice University in Houston and Emory University in Atlanta. In founding the new company, the two friends were looking for an adventure and a way to improve their new communities. They wrote in their original business plan that they intended to make “knowledge truly without boundaries.”
A Mississippi native, Shelby Joe founded General Academic in 2003, two weeks before matriculating at Rice University. At Rice, he majored in political science and managerial studies while also studying abroad in both China and Germany. After not quite two years working as a management consultant, he turned his attention full time toward making General Academic the best company possible.
