Overview
Education—spanning preschools, K-12, higher education, test-prep, skilling, and B2B edtech—offers resilient demand with regulatory nuance and delivery complexity. We help investment teams underwrite opportunities with confidence and drive value creation post-close through pragmatic operating levers.
Investor Pain Points
- Signal vs. noise: crowded subsegments and marketing metrics that mask true learning and revenue quality.
- Policy/regulatory risk: board/affiliation rules, pricing sensitivities, data privacy/child safety expectations.
- Unit economics: CAC/LTV volatility, center utilisation, batch mix, and seasonality across segments.
- Execution depth: need for on-ground validation—classrooms, counsellors, faculty, employer partners, and parent/student cohorts.
