JOIN THE PRIVATE NETWORK FOR EDTECH FOUNDERS.

StartEd members get the feedback, connections, and community they need, whenever they need it. Limited spots available to join our next cohort.

YOUR ALWAYS-ON GROWTH PARTNER

StartEd Members are founders like you: scrappy, ambitious, and navigating the messy middle of product, fundraising, and scale. This always-on membership is your direct line to StartEd’s powerful network—offering the feedback, resources, and community you need, whenever you need it.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

  • Connect 1:1 with a StartEd Managing Director who knows the EdTech space inside and out. Get feedback on your current challenges—from go-to-market to fundraising to hiring your next key team members.

  • Get curated introductions to senior operators, investors, and advisors who are aligned with your stage and focus.

  • Join curated, founder-only small groups to talk through challenges, wins, and tactical questions. 

  • Access live workshops, founder office hours, and digital courses focused on growth, capital, product, and traction—led by practitioners, not theorists.

  • Get guaranteed and discounted access to NYC’s flagship EdTech Festival, hosted by StartEd. 

We’re inviting a select group of EdTech founders to get first access to our membership. As members, you’ll get:

  • Early access member pricing

  • Input on future features

  • A seat at the table as we build this with founders, for founders

Sign up by May 1, 2025 to confirm your spot.
