It’s been a tough year for education technology startups–35% drop in seed funding across all sectors and 50% decrease in investment in education technology companies. In the current environment, seed-stage education startups with less than $2 million in revenue will have the greatest difficulties navigating choppy economic waters to find customers and investors in order to survive. Seed funding provides education companies with the resources needed to continue to survive and grow. But just 19 of 739 institutional seed investors in the education technology sector are purely education focused and funding for career education still lags other areas in the sector.

Join the conversation as impact investors reveal why they are digging deep and investing in career readiness startups and companies with diverse leadership to foster innovation in career-focused education, intentional postsecondary pathways, and workforce development.
