Washington Business Journal: In D.C., ed tech is getting hot and crowded
Is DC the home of the ed tech revolution?
Education technology grows still bigger in D.C. This week:
Data-startup Always Prepped announced a $650,000 raise from True Ventures and angels;
Interfolio, which sells its technology to universities and scholars, announced it has doubled its office space and expanded its staff;
2U, the company formerly known as 2Tor,rolled out its “Semester Online” course program alongside 10 colleges and universities.
And last week, Echo360 snapped up University of Michigan spinoff LectureTools. More to come next week.
We’re seeing momentum in startup and product launches, partnerships, acquisitions and fundings (see: EverFi, 2U). All the excitement and energy that surrounded the daily deal and e-commerce arena two years ago seems to have migrated to ed-tech.
