Academics
Holberg is a former Google Computer Science Teaching Fellow,[11] on the platform called CS First. He has also taught middle school math on the West Side of Chicago, as Teach For America Corps Member, and created a loan underwriting system for the Capital Good Fund, one of the country’s largest micro-finance organizations.[12]
“When I got into the working world, I had to learn every single thing by myself,” he said. “For instance, I had bought my college books with a credit card, not thinking about how I was going to pay them off. I had several experiences like that, which made me wonder why there aren’t more resources to teach people like me about finances.”[4]

Holberg was named one of Chicago’s 35 under 35 award recipients by Chicago Scholars in 2018.[13]
