Pearson, a UK-listed education and publishing company, has launched an incubator for education technology start-ups less than three years old.
Pearson Catalyst will incubate and accelerate up to 10 teams of founders for at least three-months starting in mid-April. The incubees will receive up to $10,000 and can meet a Pearson executive.
Diana Stepner, head of future technologies at Pearson, said: “The future of learning is digital, personal and driven by data – and bringing together Pearson and startups is the perfect combination to build the best future of education today.”
Pearson Catalyst follows peer Kaplan linking up with TechStars to offer an ed-tech accelerator in New York City.
