11 Tech Factors That Changed Education in 2011
Summary
Not coincidentally, the Bay Area, New York, Boston, Austin, Portland and every college town from Abilene to Gainesville is fostering young, eager minds.

Will these new owners achieve operational excellence and bring back a culture of innovation, or will they sit on a cash cow, only to be disrupted by new entrants like Instructure and TopSchool? But for now, early stage investors can recognize that a culture of active private equity firms doesnt necessarily mean decent exits for startups.
