While most accelerators purely focus on the basics, our experts personalize their approach based on the problems you want to solve for your organization and the stage of your company. We provide expert guidance on the fundamentals for growing companies at any stage to help you conquer the complex EdTech ecosystem.
Fundraising is a full-time role and a team effort, whether you’re a solopreneur or a growth stage company. In EdTech, we recognize that founders should have access to multiple types of dilutive and non-dilutive capital. Our proven fundraising principles leverage these industry-specific nuances to show you how you can save months of effort in just 40 hours. Just ask our alums.
We believe EdTech founders and their companies have unique needs and have a bigger mission that goes beyond most technology startups. Join a community of thousands of innovators who care about both financial and social outcomes on the journey to ensure equitable quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all.
