Imagine K12′s 2011 Startup Class Aims To Invigorate Education With Technology
- ericmsimons 15y agoFor those of you who are thinking about applying to IK12's next batch, I strongly encourage you to do so. Geoff, Tim and Alan are great guys who really care about education and bring a wealth of experience to advise you with.
- sgrove 15y agoSeconded. When I heard Geoff speak, I wasn't particularly interested in the domain at first, but by the end of his talk, I felt extremely motivated to help out IK12 startups however possible. The work they're doing is so important, and the quality of the advisor team is going to change the way business is done in the industry.

- jcampbell1 15y agoA ton of technical masturbation, and not much curriculum. Anyone making profits in this space knows that curriculum is where the money is. I'll be rude and say that none of the advisors have ever made a dime in education, and it shows. A lot of passion and money, but little experience. My advice for next year would be for the advisors to pay many teachers to be create content for the startups. Office hours with teachers and founders would have caused many of these startups to pivot earlier, and actually build something that teachers want in the classroom.
