Develop your advisor and mentor network

Startups receive mentorship and company building advice from among 900+ 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 a founders network. For startups entering the US, the program enables you to connect with local market experts, legal, and immigration advisors.

While our online 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 supplemental 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, US and global market expansion, advisory board building, company positioning, and distribution.
