Spread the news! edinno.lab III is officially in motion. We are excited to introduce 8 dynamic early stage edtech startups who have joined edinno’s third Innovation Lab. Meet DigiPals, Hubble Learning, KOBI by Hopalai, LearnAla, Pedestal, Smartifact, StudyBot, and Tailor-Ed Systems Inc.
The third round of the Innovation Lab is running from November 1st — December 17th, and we are excited to add these early-stage EdTech startups & their founders to the strong, active, and growing community of cohort alumni, industry professionals, coaches, and experts in the edinno network. As an active, application-based, equity-free learning experience, the edinno.lab is focused on supporting these founders in answering critical business and education related questions, developing strong next-step action plans, and building thriving professional networks.
The 6 week program consists of Learning Sessions with experienced instructors who help founders hone their product market fit, deepen their understanding of successful implementations and pilots, and expand their edtech market knowledge; as well as All Cohort Roundtables and Founder Lunch & Learns where founders in the cohort engage in conversations about the edtech founding journey.
Another core component of the edinno.lab is coaching. We are thrilled to welcome 8 coaches to the program who help empower emerging edtech founders in this critical stage. The coaches — Ben Bungert, Kripa Sundar, Sarah Fryar, Holly Woodruff, Catherine Mannick, Erika Tepler, Jean Hammond, and John Faig — bring unique and diverse perspectives and experiences in education and include current educators, non-profit leaders, and researchers.
