Happy Monday 👋
This week, HolonIQ launches the 2024 Australia and New Zealand EdTech 50, a list of the most promising EdTech startups in the region. Mature EdTechs (7-10 years) dominate this year’s list as new startups struggle to get off the ground and growth companies stall with little funding. EdTech business models remain balanced between B2B and direct to consumer with a significant lift in workforce EdTech solutions this year, but a shrinking group of startups in the management systems space as incumbents keep share. Check out the analysis or Request a Demo of the HolonIQ Platform to deep dive into the data on the Education Market, including over 100K companies, 42K deals, market sizing, market mapping, and much more.
