Terms in plain English
LEANLAB runs a codesign research fellowship, not a capital program. Edtech ventures pilot and co-design their products with Kansas City-area school systems over an academic year. Ventures pay a fee to cover the cost of the research study and provide their product to schools at no cost during that year; LEANLAB takes no equity and provides no stipend. Cohort 6 includes 10 ventures working with 9 school systems.
Who this is actually for
Edtech companies that want school-based codesign research and direct relationships with school districts, and that can pay for a research study. A fit for teams seeking evidence and district traction rather than capital.
