Global venture capital investments in ed tech last year were $3 billion, a collapse from the record high of nearly $21 billion three years ago. For companies looking to secure either early or late-stage capital, their prospects at a glance would appear bleak. In this webinar, we get insights from education investors on where venture firms are still looking to place their bets – and what are the areas of the K-12 space that they’ve become determined to avoid in the near term.

Join this briefing as we discuss how education VCs believe the next few years will play out in ed tech, and how they see the overall interplay between fundraising, innovation, and M&A playing out.

Attendees will come away with:

  • Insights on how market conditions – most notably the drying up of ESSER funding – are affecting the fundraising climate
  • Investors’ perspective on the types of products/services they find appealing, and those they’re staying away from
  • Predictions on how industry consolidation will affect the market

We’ll also give you a preview of our upcoming coverage.

EdWeek Market Brief members are invited to submit questions on any of the above topics in advance, by writing to Emma Kate, Michelle, and Alexandria at efittes@educationweek.org, mcaffrey@edudcationweek.org, and ang@educationweek.org.
