Scaling an education platform takes content, product, and trust. Fund all three with capital tied to your recurring revenue, and keep your focus on learners.
Real situations we hear in almost every first call.
01
Education budgets run on their own calendar. Your payroll runs every month.
02
New standards or new markets mean rebuilding content before you can sell a single new licence.
03
Onboarding, rostering and teacher training all peak before term starts and before invoices go out.
04
Usage drops every holiday. Your costs don’t, and renewals depend on what happens in September.
From the first teacher champion to district-wide renewals. Every step of the EdTech calendar has its own cash moment. Here is each one, and how Float fits.
