Kellogg alumnus launches fast-growing knowledge sharing platform

Draego Zubiri (MSc Education, 2017) has recently launched a new knowledge sharing social app called INSPO.

A social network designed for sharing expertise, offering industry insights, and showcasing thought leadership. Unlike the usual social platforms, INSPO is built around professional and academic profiles and encourages proper citations and references in posts, which keeps things grounded in evidence rather than vibes. Since its launch in January, the platform has taken off, pulling in nearly 6,000 professionals, experts, and academics to its early community. It is quickly becoming a space where serious ideas meet accessible conversation, and it is very much giving the energy of a community that actually wants to be challenged and learn from each other.

Reflecting on INSPO’s early success, Draego said:

“Social networks have long prioritised entertainment over learning, leaving little room for meaningful knowledge-sharing and thoughtful conversations. There’s been no dedicated space for critical, informed insights, without the noise and clutter of conventional social platforms. INSPO aims to fill that gap by creating a social network built for deeper thinking about the world around us.”

Draego wants to shift perceptions of thought leadership, from superficial sentiment to genuine industry insights grounded in real-world evidence and expertise. By providing an alternative social platform dedicated to meaningful discourse, he hopes INSPO will encourage more academics and researchers to share their insights in accessible ways beyond traditional academic circles, helping to bridge knowledge divides between academia and industry. Over time, Draego believes thought leadership portfolios that demonstrate your ability to think independently will become just as important to careers as what’s in your resume.

Draego brought this same spirit of innovation to Oxford. During his time at Kellogg, he completed his MSc Education (Learning and Technology) with Distinction, served as MCR International Student Officer, and won the University’s IT Innovation Challenge. His winning project received £15,000 to build an augmented reality app that let users explore geolocated artefacts around Oxford. Think Pokémon Go, but with historic academic treasure. He can be reached at draegozubiri@gmail.com and is always keen to connect with fellow Kellogg members who are curious about INSPO or interested in swapping ideas.

Kellogg loves celebrating alumni who continue to push boundaries, and it is great to see Draego carrying that energy forward!
