About us
We have built and sold EdTech products, run school procurement, written policy for school groups, and worked on the investor side of the table. The advisors are specialists drawn in by name when the engagement needs the depth. The working method follows directly from who is doing the work.
Three pillars
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.
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.
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.
Partners
