Investor Connect – Ash Kaluarachchi of StartEd Accelerator

September 12, 2019 by investor

On this episode, Hall welcomes Ash Kaluarachchi of StartEd Accelerator. Prior to entering early stage investing in the education technology space, Ash was focusing on helping executives learn from each other. Ash worked with Executive Board in DC, introducing peer groups and best practice research into the corporate learning environment.

Ash explains his advice for those looking to invest in education technology, as well as some of the trends he sees in the space. He also discusses his investment thesis, and how the focus on education technology brings another layer–creating learning outcomes–on top of the typical criteria (team, market, product). Finally, you’ll hear about some of the challenges specific to education technology, as well as a few of the immediate opportunities in the space.
