ABOUT THE REPORT
The report — Global EdTech Accelerators — Investment Strategies and
Market Intelligence — is a snapshot of all the business accelerators and
incubators that focus on the educational technology space.
The report covers profiles of all the accelerators, along with the major
geographies and edtech segments that they are bullish about. It further
discusses the investments that these accelerators make in the companies,
as the equity taken against these investments.
The report covers only those accelerators that focus on edtech, or have an
edtech–specific arms. Therefore, it does not cover general startup
accelerators such as 500 Startups, GSV Labs, Startup Brasil, UTEST
incubator, Village Capital. Further, accelerators such as Mind Trust
Fellowship Program — that focus on education as a whole — have not
been included in the research, to keep it edtech focused.
The data has been sourced from the accelerators and incubators’ websites,
news articles, as well as aggregation platforms. Further, the list of
accelerators profiled might not be comprehensive.
