Incubators (note: all have summer terms and give money unless stated).
Should Google “edtech” startups.
Could look at other edtech venture funds. Such as http://www.newschools.org/
May want to look at the ones that are closed because their site doesn’t actually indicate close or open correctly and we only looked through open: http://gan.co/members?filter=true&application_status=0®ion=1
