Ed Tech Startup Dashboard 2015-2016
Simba Information’s Ed Tech Startup Dashboard 2015-2016 examines the education technology startup market—the highlights of investment and business activity among incubators and accelerators, the startups themselves and the drivers behind all the activity.
The report focuses on the activity in the fourth quarter of 2015, reviews overall activity in 2015—including the startup IPO of the year—and takes an initial look at 2016 activity through the end of May 2016.
The Dashboard, produced on a periodic basis since the beginning of 2015, provides a timely spot-check of new companies and new product launches, capital funding milestones and the hottest sectors for new products, as well as changes in the education-market landscape that enhance the opportunities or present new challenges to emerging companies.
