Project FoundEd is a community of EdTech founders using our collective voice to improve the EdTech industry and keep it focused on equitable learning outcomes

How and when will that happen, and are we at least headed the right way? We WILL get there, but we are not headed the right way - why?

I hosted a workshop today with education entrepreneurs in Boston and am so inspired by their vision, agility, and perseverance. In a highly-regulated and entrenched sector like education, entrepreneurship can be a tough journey. We should try to make it easier.
We’ve learned a lot from the founders we serve. For EdTech entrepreneurs, the number one and two hurdles are almost always fundraising 💵 and sales 📈
The truth is that what’s keeping EdTech from fulfilling its promise has nothing to do with either of those thins.
