The 2024 cohort includes a larger group of solutions supporting workforce training including solutions for corporates (Go1, Guroo Producer, How Too), Mentoring and Coaching (GetMee, Peeplcoach, TEX.inc) and continues the focus on learning about and with technology (Secure Code Warrior, Saasguru) and training for for deskless workers (frntlne, Hindsite, Typsy).  

However, the management systems group shrunk compared with last year as incumbents and mature startups dominate this part of the market. Startups supporting the administration and management of pre-schools, schools and extra curriculur include OWNA, Schoolbytes and Clipboard.

STEAM remains a solid category, with solutions such as Edtripper, a SAAS platform for schools to discover, manage and book educational activities, Hackersjack, which provides cyber security knowledge for K12, Kai's Education enabling AR/VR coding robots in K-12 and Pico, a platform to make learning coding simpler.

Exhibit 3

Mature EdTechs dominate this years list as new startups find it hard to get a foothold and growth stage companies starved of funding.

The number of newer startups is shrinking as early stage companies find it hard to get a foothold. Of the few in the list which are under 3 years old, including Teachflows, an AI assistant for teachers, and Mist, an app for international students. The last three years has seen a very tight funding environment globally for startups, making it difficult for earlier stage startups to secure funding to reach scale.  30% of this year's list are between 4-6 years old (compared with 25% last year) and, of those startups between 7-10 years, two thirds are operating B2B models.
