New European Edtech Accelerator

The rise of the niche incubator and accelerator continues with a specialized acceleration programme in Educational Technology http://techcrunch.com/2014/01/31/open-education-challenge/. Techcrunch covered this today.

 

“Teams selected for the programme will get €20,000 for participating, in exchange for an average of 6% equity. This money is being put up by the founding partners of the incubator: education company P.A.U. Education and investment firm Armat Group.”

We can argue whether or not 6% of equity is a fair share or not. But this incubator and its European-wide exposure is certainly interesting.
