HackEDU

So after being EverFi for just under a year now - I’m a full believer in the HackEDU mantra.   The Education space is so ripe for disruption and has so much opportunity, there is really other no other industry I would rather be in right now.

When you look at the technology hotbeds across the country, Washington DC falls between 7-10 on most lists.   However when it comes to edtech companies, DC is the place to be.  It started with Blackboard and with their exit, we have seen crops of new startups and angel investors from their early employee pool.  Also having  all the education wonks here in DC allow for some unbelievable minds to tap into.   When you look down the list of the most buzz-worthy education startups most of the hottest are based in DC.

To help bring the #EDTech and #HackEDU communities together here in DC, I’m putting together a HackEDU MeetUp Group.  For all of us in interested in both the edtech startup scene and the disruption of education industry as a whole - I wanted to created a forum for us to come together and hear what others are working on.  So if you’re interested, we would love to have you join us at our first event on April 20th at EverFi’s HQ.
