Where is the Problem?

Questions to consider …

Is there a website that stores and easily searches for information on all who want to teach/learn online and all who want to teach/learn off-line? Globally and locally.

Can data on Subject Matter Experts be made available on a global scale for all disciplines, subjects and topics? Can good education be made available to all? … For those can afford and for those who cannot.

Why aren’t user-friendly free versions used extensively to teach several students at a time (synchronous)? Do I know who all would be interested in my lessons?

Are all recorded videos and lectures on every discipline available atone place and accessible to all (asynchronous)?

Is there a global Demand and Supply matching website dedicated to education?

Funding

• Bootstrapping has led the team to come up with a model that’s in Demand and that works (based on sampling and prototype simulations).

• A more robust prototype is required for extensive testing, debugging and model tweaking.

• This is mission critical to success – our team is ready to generously share equity with venture capitalist(s) and/or Tech and Marketing partners or a combination thereof.

• Initial seed money for technology development and greater in-depth market analysis is assessed to be only $150K and t three months of dedicated efforts. Macro plan in place.
