​
Who is this course for?​
-
For Edtech founders who are preparing to raise a Seed/Series A round. For founders who are not operating in the Edtech space, we believe that 90% of the content is still relevant for any sector.
-
For founders who are raising a pre-seed round, we still encourage you to join. Please note that the content is focused towards seed and series A rounds but we can say with a high degree of certainty that a big part is still relevant for pre-seed founders.
​
What is the time commitment for this course?
~6mins / day for 3 days. We know you are busy so we have condensed years of experience into these short emails.
​
Why you should join the course
1. Save time: we focus on what we believe is essential for your fundraising.
2. Access relevant knowledge: we have reviewed thousands of Edtech startups since 2018 and have invested in 45+ companies. On top of that we have asked a few selected European edtech founders who have raised big rounds to share insights and practical tips as well.
3. Increase your success rate (hopefully!): we help you understand what VCs expect from you.
We believe that by the end of the course, you'll feel as confident as Patrick Bateman (😉) when starting your roadshow.
