The Brief
Save the Children is a global organisation that gives a powerful voice to children around the world and champions their rights. Their work tackles all issues affecting children including access to health and education, saving lives in a disaster, stopping climate change and protecting children from harm. In 2018 Save The Children directly reached more than 40 million children in 116 countries.
Save The Children Investment Fund have recently secured $6m of the $10m target funding – and sufficient to start identifying potential investment targets. The funds investments are for purpose organisations that can deliver a proven social outcome and also provide value back to the Save The Children organisation. Edtech is seen as a market segment with opportunities for investment but more needs to be understood about what Edtech organisations would be suitably aligned for the Impact Fund’s goals.
On this research project, students are tasked with:
- Research the needs and drivers of Ed tech entrepreneurs (the customers) so the impact fund (the product) can better attract and close investment opportunities.
- Research the adoption of Ed tech innovations by target customers so the fund can better assess investment opportunities / coach the entrepreneurs along their journey once they’ve invested
Your mentor will guide you every step of the way!
