Ask HN: Mentor/Advisor for post-revenue EdTech Company?
EdTech is a wonky industry! Many downsides... but rewarding (social + profit) if you can carve out a foothold and grow your installed base.
We're a small, bootstrapped, EdTech company in a niche space (think desktop application for a humanities field) that's looking for mentorship from an experienced EdTech veteran (either on the tech or business side). We've grown annual revenue to ~$600-700K (~$400K of that is ARR) across a variety of accounts: K-12, Universities, large publics, small privates, etc.
Product engagement and customer satisfaction is great; we have low churn at an expensive price point + high conversion rates on pilot trials, but we're struggling to level up and grow to the next stage (which we define as $1MM+ ARR or an installed base across 500-1000 schools).
There seems to be many older/experienced operators in the B2B and B2C spaces. Finding mentors in EdTech has been difficult for us.
If you have a background in EdTech and are interested in mentoring a small, but hungry team, drop me a line: edtechnovice [at] gmail.
