What we told our LPs about how COVID-19 changes education investments linkedin.com/pulse/what-we-t… via @LinkedIn
Career advice for grads interested in edtech:
1. Be as selective about them as they will be about you. First jobs matter.
2. Your degree isn't that useful. This job is step 1 twd becoming a T-shaped professional
3. Early stage co's won't train you. Go for a growth-stage company
What everyone was expecting, but great to see the numbers
