Funding and Investors

Over the past ten years, the EdTech startup field has boomed, along with investor interest. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the rapid expansion of online education, and supporting digital programs and systems. In 2023 research conducted by LearnPlatform found that K-12 school districts use 1,379 education software programs and systems, each month!

The opportunity to support education in impactful ways has never been greater for companies that can move quickly, and effectively.  As early stage education companies evolve and transition to growth, they often need additional funding to support product development, hire additional staff, and implement systems and infrastructure to scale the business.

Identifying the right potential investors aligned with your mission and vision, and preparing for the request, are important steps.  Jon has solid connections with several Venture Capital and Private Equity firms, and has been an investor himself.
