Qualia House LLC
Qualia House rethinks education around how people learn, not only what they learn.
Qualia House LLC is the parent company of the ventures founded by Pardis Mahdavi, PhD, in education software, speaking and advisory work, and higher education.
Each venture in the house carries out its own work under its own name.
01 Ventures
The house is made up of three ventures founded by Pardis Mahdavi, PhD.

Qualia are the felt qualities of experience: what something is like from the inside.
Pardis Mahdavi, PhD, chose the name because education has focused on what people learn, the facts, the content and the credentials, and far less on how they learn it. Qualia House exists to rethink education around that experience, and each venture in the house does that work under its own name.
