⇒ Atal Innovation Mission (AIM), Amazon Web Services (AWS) and the Global EdTech Accelerator – UIncept have joined hands to organise the ‘All India EdTech Challenge and Master Class Series 2021-2022’ for early and advanced stage EdTech founders.
- This initiative is an extension to the Statement of Intent (SoI) signed between NITI Aayog and Amazon Internet Services Private Limited in March, 2021.
Aim of the initiative:
To nurture EdTech companies and startups who are in pre and post minimum viable product stages by identifying potential industry gaps, exploring mergers and acquisitions, talent sourcing and pooling, and decoding venture capital and investor mind-set while exploring industry, academia and government connections.
- The key mentors for the EdTech Challenge and Master Class series include professionals and industry leaders.
The challenge will have two tracks:
- Pre MVP/EdTech Idea- Factory challenge for existing and aspiring EdTech entrepreneurs
- Post MVP Scale Factory Challenge will be aimed to bring existing EdTech entrepreneurs closer to universities, schools, venture capital firms and policymakers, and enable funding opportunities
» This six-month long challenge and master class series will identify EdTech industry gaps and clearly define clear problem statements in the last mile; identify potential pre and post MVP startups to participate in the challenge; conduct focussed sessions on product-market fit, go-to-market strategy, legal, customer discovery, business fundamentals and more; conduct business meetings, expert hours, pitch sessions, demo and pitch days.
