NYEdTech Startup Showcase 2014

It's that time of year when we like to showcase some of the amazing EdTech companies within our community. Community members tell-all. Come and hear how much they’re making and who their customers are; they’ll even make introductions for you as well as share their confidential partnership agreements. Not. Let’s see the community demonstrate how they’re solving some of education’s challenges with innovative and scalable technologies.

The presenting companies are:

• Credly (https://credly.com/)

• MakerState (http://www.maker-state.com/)

• MarcoPolo (http://gomarcopolo.com/)

• Mediathread (http://mediathread.info/)

• Pear Deck (https://peardeck.com/)
