Imagine K12 Graduates Its First Class of Ed-Tech Startups

I love this idea, because there is so much room for improvement in the field of ed tech. There are some pretty interesting questions to answer, many of which are a mix of social/ business/ ethical/ technical considerations. For example, we have a huge gap in access to educational resources. I would hate to see ed tech startups widen this gap.

US government funding is $800bn, so obviously there is a pool of money available to effective innovators. But this brings into question the issue of how much profit to aim for, and how to ensure equitable access to new technologies.

How should ed tech startups approach trying to find a balance between maximizing profit, and while maintaining equitable access to their product? One thought I had was to aim for a distribution between pay-in-full access, discounted access (in price only, not in features), and free access - this distribution should align with a society's income distribution somehow.

Is this issue being addressed at all?

I love the thought of encouraging better education, especially through technology, but I have to wonder if that's a wide enough base to support the incubator? It seems a rather narrow vision.
