Talking Impact for EdTech Founders
Welcome to Talking Impact for EdTech Founders with your host, Kristy Evers, Director at ImpactEd Evaluation.
This Autumn, we're diving deeper into one of the most critical aspects of making educational technology impactful and successful: evaluation. If you're an EdTech founder wondering how to move beyond vanity metrics and truly demonstrate that your technology drives meaningful learning outcomes, this series is for you.
Over the coming episodes, we'll explore how rigorous evaluation can become your competitive advantage, turning evidence into your most powerful sales tool. We'll break down the practical steps to design evaluations that actually work, share real founder stories of evaluation successes and failures, and give you the basics you need to build learning impact right into your product development cycle.
Whether you're a pre-seed startup looking to validate your concept or a scaling company preparing for your next funding round, understanding evaluation isn't just nice to have—it's essential for sustainable growth in today's evidence-driven education market.
So let's get started on your journey from building EdTech to building EdTech that works.
