The Status Quo
Most edtech marketing is fundamentally broken.
-
Chaotic ad spend, zero ROI
Burning venture capital on broad audiences without understanding cohort-specific acquisition costs.
-
High churn, low completion
Acquiring users who never engage, destroying your LTV:CAC ratio and platform metrics.
-
Generic B2B tactics
Treating lifelong learners like corporate SaaS buyers. Education requires community, not just cold emails.
