Dear Friends of StartEd and EDTECH WEEK,You will have the opportunity to hear from, and vote to meet with, the CEOs of EdTech companies making an impact in Southern California and hear an in-depth discussion from &quot;Sharks&quot; about the current fundraising environment. This month&#x27;s Shark Tank is a collaboration with the Global EdTech Startup Awards (GESA) to bring you the best of education innovation in Southern California. The most voted-for companies from this &#x27;Shark Tank&#x27; will go on to present at the GESA Finals in London (Jan 2022).This months Shark Tank judges are:<ul><li>Michael Bell, Head of Sales at Spotify</li><li>Valentina Ro, Early-Stage Investor at Wonder Ventures</li><li>Jennifer Schwab, Founder &amp; CEO at ENTITY ACADEMY</li><li>Tarlin Ray, Senior Vice President at BigFuture, CollegeBoard</li></ul>At the end of every Shark Tank, the Sharks (EdTech investors) close the event by discussing the current funding environment and the trends they see. In the span of 20 minutes, they give invaluable insight into funding priorities and the big picture view of what’s currently happening in EdTech. Whether you’re a founder, an educator, a fellow investor, or just an EdTech enthusiast, you’ll want to see the discussion at the latest StartEd Shark Tank on September 30. The Sharks discussed three questions in particular: <ul><li>What are the problems that education innovators should focus on solving ― especially in light of the pandemic?</li><li>How might capital behave differently in the coming year?</li><li>Is this a good time to be building an EdTech company?</li></ul>
