The global education technology market is experiencing a surge in new technologies. Education has been highly affected by Covid-19, with school closures and remote learning giving rise to a wave of edtech startups. As a result, everything from books to fundraising is getting a digital makeover. In addition, the effects of students studying online are spilling out into sectors like healthcare and business. As these new trends push edtech forward, the market cap is expected to reach $605B by 2027.
The move from traditional modes of teaching to interactive and digitized formats has boosted the online education market and inspired the development of new approaches to delivering courses and skills. Advanced technologies like AI and augmented reality (AR) could become education’s engine through game-based learning (gamification), mobile-based learning, and hybrid models. Moreover, online certification platforms from companies like Google and LinkedIn and universities like Harvard and MIT are now competing with traditional degree tracks.
If you’re passionate about improving education for future generations, check out our list below of the top edtech companies hiring now!

- About
Classkick is a Kapor Capital-backed platform that enhances student learning through feedback. Research shows feedback to students is the number 1 driver of learning, increasing annual student learning outcomes 200%.
Teachers not only struggle with the quantity and quality of personalized feedback, but collaboration between students is also stifled. Just like Slack has opened up communication in the workplace and on teams, Classkick increases feedback and collaboration inside and outside the classroom.

Security in the Skies: 5 High Altitude Balloon and Satellite Startups Hiring Now
Nearly nine decades after the Hindenburg disaster, some speculate we’re entering the Second Age of the Balloon. “As all these objects fall, a new space race is rising,” Vox (https://www.vox.com/world/2023/2/7/23588464/suspect-spy-china-balloon-sputnik-moment-space-race) proclaimed. Tens of thousands of balloons float into near-space every year, and the numbers rise every year. The National Weather Service alone launches around 60k high-flying balloons each year. The Pentagon spent nearly $4B over the past two years on its own high altitude balloons, according to Politico (https://www.politico.com/news/2022/07/05/u-s-militarys-newest-weapon-against-china-and-russia-hot-air-00043860). Why the interest in such old-school tech? “They’re cheap, easy to transport, can be fielded in large numbers and are payload agnostic,” industry expert George Howell wrote. Tucson, Arizona-based World View (https://spacenews.com/world-view-emphasizes-remote-sensing-as-it-prepares-to-go-public/), a stratospheric ballooning company, last month announced plans to go public via SPAC merger. The company develops a “stratollite” that provides high-res imagery for extended periods. (The company also offer space tourism.) Colorado-based Urban Sky (/company/urban-sky) is creating what it claims as the first ever reusable stratospheric balloon. Called “micro-balloons,” they’re the size of a VW bus and can hover in near space to collect data over urban areas. Company founder Jared Leidich (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/04_fm2017-alan-eustaces-jump-1-180961678/) has some chops in this arena, having designed the space suit used in the world record space dive in 2014 via a balloon at nearly 136k feet. Near Space Labs (/company/nearspacelabs) invites people to “step inside a new way of thinking about all things geospatial imaging (https://nearspacelabs.com/blog/).” The company's high-altitude balloons that carry a small, autonomous robot called Swifty to capture the world around them at 60k to 85k feet in the air. The company says it’s done zero carbon emissions and recently launched (https://www.zdnet.com/article/near-space-labs-provide-free-high-resolution-imagery-to-universities-nonprofits/) a program to make its high-resolution Earth imagery available to universities and nonprofits for free. Sounds fascinating, right? Luckily, with a new wave of space technology, comes a brand new, cutting-edge wave of jobs. Check out 5 top startups aiming skywards and hiring now.
