Finishing 2015 Part 1 - The EDGE Edtech experience

MyeTutor.org Office Space-EDGE Edtech
eLearning Industries – MyeTutor.org was invited to attend the EDGE-Alley Community in NY. Over 500 companies had applied for the program but only a handful of them were selected. The program provided a physical location and hub for thought leadership, classes, programming, meet-ups and co-working space for the NYC education technology community. 

This model is designed to inspire talent to come out of the woodworks, to provide space for the for the entire education community to convene, connect, learn and incubate. Leaders from government, education, corporations, and technology companies will find common ground and propel the community and innovation forward. 

We had the opportunity for three months to mingle with mature startups, be among some of the most Ed tech creative minds, learn from the best, and meet with top industry leaders. Incredible experiences, vast amounts of information, guidance, and expert advice for a startup to avoid the pitfalls in the education technology world. Many business, and personal connections were made that will be pushing us even further in the coming year. 


EDGE is founded by EDTech veterans Don Burton and Jonathan D. Harber. The company takes an innovative approach to fostering early stage EdTech startups, what they call a "Startup Generator", that supports the entire value chain of EdTech company creation from ideation to Series A. for more information visit http://edgeedtech.com/edge-edtech/
