The emergence of foundation models and generative AI has opened new frontiers in education—from personalized learning at scale to AI-driven teaching assistants and automated content creation. Despite these breakthroughs and a global education market of over $7 trillion, we have yet to see an edtech giant break the $20B mark. Will AI finally unlock the potential for massive scale in education technology?
This panel will bring together early-stage founders and operators to dive into the critical questions facing emerging edtech startups: What does it take to launch and scale AI-driven products in education? Are there inherent ceilings to growth, and how can young companies overcome them? What are the common hurdles around product development, adoption, and procurement? And, above all, how can early-stage ventures ensure that AI truly transforms teaching and learning for the better?
