OneValley Pitch Event: Spotlight on Edtech

Education serves as the bedrock for societies to iterate and progress. Studies have consistently shown that investment in education has had vastly beneficial effects for those with access to it, but only in the last few decades has "access" become more widely available and not limited to traditional institutions. This October, OneValley hosted a pitch night to highlight the cutting edge, Edtech startups found around the world. These startups are leveling the playing field for individuals inspired to learn, regardless of their circumstances. The winner received $2,000 in cash and the audience pick won $500.
