EdTech Research Funding ($2M, 0% Equity Taken)

Interested in winning $2M funding with 0% equity taken for your Ed Tech company?

Hello, this is Dr. Elle Wang. I'm a Research Scientist at the National AI Institute for Adult Learning and Online Education (AI-ALOE) and ASU EdPlus. I received my PhD in Cognitive Sciences from Columbia University. After many years of serving as the reviewer and advisory board member for America's Seed Fund (NSF SBIR/STTR) and XPRIZE, I'm partnering with Maven to develop a 4-week cohort-based live course to tech Ed Tech entrepreneurs how to develop efficient and effective research plan to win up to $2M NSF SBIR funding.

Unlike VC funding, NSF SBIR

1) takes zero equity &
2) has a strong focus on creating "research value" [intellectual merit + broader impact] beyond commercial viability.

It is a common misunderstanding that only professional researchers (people who have PhDs or professors) are capable of writing research-focused proposals. It's a pity to see talented entrepreneurs leaving $2M and the opportunity to be backed by the US government on the table.

I've coached and written proposals that have resulted in $21M funding collectively in the last 10 years. This year, in addition to 1:1 coaching sessions, I plan to launch a live, cohort-based course to teach Ed Tech entrepreneurs to write compelling proposals to apply for America's Seed Fund (aka NSF SBIR) and many other funding agencies (such as XPRIZE ) that require a strong research component in the proposal.

Taking this course, you will:

* Avoid common mistakes
* Cultivate a researcher's mindset
* Develop a solid and testable research plan
* Receive targeted help for your specific challenges

** By the end of the course, you'll be able to write and submit your completed project pitch.

The course price will be ~ $1500. Fill out the contact form below to get on the waitlist and be the first to hear when enrollments open. ** Survey respondents will be eligible to register for the course with the early bird price ($1000) and receive invitations to FREE workshops. Thank you for your time completing this short survey!
