Education
Schools, classrooms, and the people who run them.
Heads of school, classroom teachers, curriculum designers. The team has run schools, written policy, and made the daily decisions that shape what reaches a child.
Where education meets innovation
We work at the intersection of schools and technology. Helping educators navigate change, and ensuring the products that reach classrooms genuinely serve learning.
Schools & Educators
Working alongside school leaders making decisions about technology, AI, and the products that reach classrooms.
We evaluate vendors, write procurement scorecards, and stay engaged through the year that decides whether the technology delivered.
For SchoolsFor Education Businesses
We help EdTech founders and commercial teams sell into schools that will use what they buy.
We work on pilots, procurement, and the year-two reviews that decide whether the deal holds.
For business
Three pillars
Education, technology and commercials
Technology
Products built, shipped, and pressure-tested.
Product builders, technical architects, AI specialists. We have shipped EdTech products, evaluated dozens more, and know what holds up in a real timetable.
Commercial
Deals closed, partnerships built, renewals delivered.
Founders, commercial leads, partnership directors. We have raised capital, sold into education systems, and stayed on through year two.
Three pillars
We come from education, not just technology.
EdV was founded by educators who saw too many technology products built without genuine understanding of schools.
Our team includes former head-teachers, curriculum designers, and education policy advisors.
People who've lived the challenges schools face.

What we do
The work changes with which side of the table you're on — the schools choosing technology, and the businesses selling into them.
How we workWe work out where technology fits, and draft the policies that keep leaders, teachers, and parents aligned.
- AI and EdTech strategy aligned to how the school actually teaches
- Acceptable-use and data-protection policy, drafted with senior leaders and teachers
- Board and senior-leadership briefings on the technology landscape
Independent buyer scorecards across categories, so a purchase rests on evidence rather than a sales deck.
- Vendor demos pressure-tested with practising educators
- Reference calls with comparable schools and groups
- Procurement, contract, and SLA review
Support through the implementation year that decides whether the technology actually lands.
- Rollout and onboarding planned with the people delivering it
- Change support across departments and year groups
- Year-two reviews of usage, impact, and renewal value
Go-to-market built around how schools actually buy — the manager who finds the problem, the lead who validates, the proprietor who approves the spend.
- Positioning and messaging for the three audiences who decide
- Target-school strategy across K-12, higher ed, and lifelong learning
- Pricing and packaging that survives a finance review
Whether the product fits how schools actually teach and operate — and what it takes to get it there.
- Fit with how schools actually teach, across different markets
- Cultural and regional sensitivity across UK, Middle East, and Southeast Asia
- Barriers to adoption surfaced before they stall a rollout
Staying credible after the contract is signed, so the technology lands in lesson plans, not just on laptops.
- Adoption and onboarding planned with the schools delivering it
- Reference-building with comparable schools and groups
- Renewal and partnership health a year in
