It's great to see Our EdTechNZ members Kai's Education on this now HolonIQ list! Kai's Education believe in democratizing STEM education and making coding accessible to all. This is exactly the type of EdTech what we need in our ecosystem. The themes in this new report from HolonIQ are not surprising given that Q1 2024 set a new global low for EdTech VC funding. It will be interesting to see were we go from here and how creative we can be with growing our EdTechs.

Reflections on Our Journey in the EdTech World: A Matter of Perception? 🤔 This eventful week in London has led me to deeply ponder FABA's placement within the vibrant EdTech startup ecosystem 🚀 Our recent participation in the Bett Global show and our experience as finalists in the GESAwards have sparked some meaningful reflections, especially due to interactions with numerous other EdTech startups, experts, and investors in the sector 🌐 Despite our product impacting the lives of over 200,000 families across various countries and surpassing €5 million in revenue in 2023, FABA's perception within the EdTech world still seems to be that of an outsider 😕 This makes me wonder: Are we truly different, or are we perhaps facing a challenge of perception? 🧐 FABA was conceived with the idea of being more than just a toy; it is an educational tool that has proven its value not only through the feedback of thousands of parents but also through in-depth university studies 📚. Yet, our limited presence in schools (around 250 and growing) seems to influence our perception within the EdTech community. This leads me to reflect: Should we perhaps start considering the EdTech sector more broadly, including not only tools for schools and work but also those supporting learning at home? 🏠 Should we limit ourselves to only considering technologies that integrate directly into formal educational systems, or is it time to more broadly recognize and value the impact that solutions like ours can have on the education of the young? 💡 #EdTech #Impact #InnovationInEducation #StartupEcosystem #EducationalTools #LearningBeyondSchools #FABA #BettShow #GesaAwards

Great thinking from the top edtech founders and investors featured in this report, with a few quotes particularly resonating with me: 🤖 'While 77% of the c-suite say AI is disrupting business strategy, 87% say they’re struggling to find talent with AI skills. It’s clear that companies are looking for learning solutions that future-proof their organisations at every level and at every function' - Chip Paucek 2U 🎓 'The skills gap is growing. Universities take years to design curricula and so most educational programmes are still focused on the skills employers needed yesterday. We need just-in-time training, so it’s easy to get started quickly, learn a new skill, and apply it directly to your work in the way you need to.' - Pierre Dubuc OpenClassrooms 🎯 'Particularly in education, it’s critical that you demonstrate a robust go-to-market strategy. Building an interesting product isn’t adequate if you can’t show clearly how you’ll get people to pay for it.' - Euan Blair Multiverse 🎥 'The best movies take you on a human journey with a narrative and structure; it’s the same with great pedagogies. <...> Education startups need to stop seeing themselves as a feature in current pedagogies and design pedagogies that move learning forward – the tech is just an application on top of that.' - Johan Brand Kahoot! 🌎 'I’m excited by the intersection of climate and education. There’s a lot of misinformation out there, people lack knowledge, and they’re not aware of their climate impact.' - Bernhard Niesner Busuu 🕸️ 'If I were starting a company today, I’d launch a membership first. I’d bring my prospective customers together and get them to pay to meet each other. That would be my first product. Then, I’d fund further product development based on their most pressing wants and needs.' - Gina Bianchini Mighty Networks 💰 'There’s so much automation and commodified tech that you don’t need loads of money right now. All this focus on Series A, B, C – forget all of that! Figure out how to be profitable as fast as possible and how to use a small amount of money to create a lot of value.' - Herman Narula Improbable 👨💻 'In distributed teams, feedback loops for learning from mistakes, adjusting, and improving have slowed and made organisations weaker. AI that can monitor your colleagues to tell you what mistakes they’re making, and what they’re doing well so you can improve knowledge transfer between co-workers, would be really exciting.' - Janos Barberis SuperCharger Ventures 🧠 'Founders should experiment rapidly and things should fail; lean in and learn from that discomfort. With so much excitement around AI, we still love working with founders who start with the problem and figure out what tech helps to address it. - Chian Gong Reach Capital #Edtech #FoundersForumGroup #AI

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐄𝐝𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐇𝐨𝐭𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫!!! I've been working in the edtech sector for the last 4 years, and it's been fascinating to watch the series on edtech companies. The edtech industry needs uplifting stories after the challenges it has faced in recent years. My favorite episode is the story of Infinity Learn. Ujjwal Singh's journey with Infinity Learn is a tale of resilience, innovation, and a deep commitment to transforming education. His story is an inspiration for those in the edtech sector, showcasing the potential for technology to revolutionize learning and make quality education accessible to all. This series is a must-watch for everyone, especially those in the education industry. #edtech #edtechstartup #edtechrevolution #edtechmarketing
