EdTech Entrepreneurs
Articles, insights and analysis on EdTech Entrepreneurs from EdCircuit.

Education entrepreneurs start companies, nonprofits and programs that try to solve problems in learning, from classroom software to tutoring services. Many are former teachers; others come from technology or business. A growing number are students themselves, learning to turn an idea into a product through school programs and competitions.
edCircuit's coverage is written for founders, investors and the educators who work with them. It covers how to launch an edtech company from idea to impact, why edtech companies must stop talking down to teachers, investment waves and what they meant for schools, sustainable AI startups, and student entrepreneurs in coding, aerospace, healthcare and transportation.
