For five years LearnLaunch has incubated and accelerated some of the most forward-thinking ideas, products, and services in the education market. Now with a portfolio of 45 edtech companies, we continue to position ourselves, and our portfolio, for maximum impact.
Our most recent Boost cohort of nine companies, spent the better half of the summer building product plans, diving into their financial models, developing their sales pipelines and refining their pitches. And while for us, Demo Day is the culmination of their time at LearnLaunch, for them it’s a monumental step forward with their business and only the beginning.
Demo Day is not only an opporunity for these companies to present the progress they’ve made during the program, but also marks a significant milestone in their progress.
See them September 25th at our Demo Day.
