EdTech Founders: Build Your Q4 Strategy for a Stellar 2025 🚀

As the year winds down, the typical approach is to reflect and reset in January. But here’s the truth: if you wait until then, you start the new year playing catch up.

In the world of startups, Q4 is your real launchpad—a time to plan, fine-tune your strategies, and position yourself for rapid growth in the new year. For those of you building innovative EdTech solutions, now is the time to get ahead, not slow down.

That’s why I’m inviting you to the Free 4-Day LIVE EdTech Startup Growth Challenge from October 22nd - 25th (1 hour daily), where you’ll gain actionable strategies, insights, and personalized guidance to transform your startup’s growth.

What can you expect? Sessions will be led by me, Vlada Lotkina, founder of ClassTag (which scaled to over 5M users before getting acquired) and CEO with experience leading startups through scaling, growth, and successful exits. As a mentor to early-stage tech founders, I know exactly what it takes to build and scale in the competitive EdTech space.

Here’s what we’ll cover in this hands-on, interactive challenge:

Day 1: Building a Killer EdTech Product

Think of this as your foundational lesson plan. We’ll dive into refining your product hypothesis and value proposition, focusing on how to identify your key user personas. You’ll leave knowing exactly what your product must deliver—and how to validate it in the market.

Day 2: Growth Hacking with AI

As educators, you know the value of efficiency and working smarter, not harder. We’ll explore how AI can automate and amplify your growth strategy, allowing you to test your product’s traction more quickly and at a lower cost. The goal is to get you early wins—faster.

Day 3: Monetization and Business Models

In the EdTech landscape, it’s not enough to have a great idea; you need a sustainable financial model. On Day 3, we’ll discuss various business models, the common pitfalls in monetization, and how to structure your financial plan so your startup not only survives but thrives in the long run.

Day 4: Fundraising for EdTech Startups

Fundraising is often a key hurdle for early-stage founders. This session will walk you through how to approach investors, create a fundraising strategy, and avoid the missteps that could delay your growth. We’ll make sure you leave with a roadmap that puts you in a strong position to secure capital.

Who should attend?

The Free EdTech Challenge isn’t perfect for every founder. This challenge is designed specifically for:

• EdTech entrepreneurs with a product idea or an MVP already in the market
• Founders looking to scale, and those in need of a clear fundraising plan
• Educators-turned-entrepreneurs wanting to make a greater impact with their solution

What makes this different?

Every day of the challenge is designed to not only teach you new strategies but also give you practical, actionable tasks that you can implement immediately. As someone who has lived and breathed the journey from ideation to exit, I’ve distilled the key steps into this free 4-day challenge so you can accelerate your success and make 2024 your breakthrough year.
