Emerge Education

Put simply, we want to have a positive impact on society, and to do that within a team that we respect and admire. We think technology has the potential to create massive efficiency gains in the education industry, which will in turn lead to the creation of enormously successful companies. In order to achieve our purpose, we invest our money, time and network into education technology companies we love and think have the ability to impact millions of lives in a ten-year timeframe, in exchange for a share in their success. Our uniqueness lies in our extensive knowledge, experience and network across the education industry, which in turn help us attract the best entrepreneurs and achieve the best returns. We measure our success by the scale of the impact our companies create. We scour the world for technology entrepreneurs who are solving problems around instruction and learning. Out of the thousands of entrepreneurs we speak to every year, we select about a dozen who we think have the biggest potential and offer them a financial investment and a place on our 14 week accelerator programme. The accelerator provides access to schools and universities who are ready to test new products, to serial entrepreneurs and investors who are committed to providing regular and relevant expertise and coaching, and to senior leaders across the education industry eager to build partnerships with our startups. The programme is designed to address the specific needs of edtech startups and is of significant value to any business trying to break-through in the education market.
