About

While StartEd’s virtual programs help you navigate communities of education industry leaders from around the world by curating learning and networking that aligns with your current objectives, this in-person program puts you at the same table with these leaders.

Our programs connect the broadest mentor and investor network in the industry with companies looking for advanced support in fundraising, acquisitions. US and global market expansion, advisory board building, company positioning, and distribution.

develop your network

Startups receive company-building guidance from among 1000+ thought leaders in EdTech that make up the StartEd Network. Whether innovation officers at top corporates, investors in the leading EdTech solutions, or CEOs of the most innovative education startups, this program supercharges your network. For companies entering the US, the program enables connection with local market experts, legal, and distribution partners.

Guidance from practitioners

Companies can dig in one-on-one with Tier-1 venture capitalists, angel investors, philanthropies, and executives that built the industry. Your curated meetings align with your current objectives - participants can opt to sit down with market experts, strategics, potential advisors, and much more - rather than spend the time trying to setup meetings with the right people.
