Catalyst @ Penn GSE, an innovation center at the University of Pennsylvania, engaged the Foundry as early stage strategic partners in creating their new virtual EdTech accelerator – an online platform designed to help diverse entrepreneurs improve the efficacy of their products and to transform outcomes for both students and investors.
Two years into our relationship, we’ve envisioned a research-centered ecosystem of tailored learning experiences, mentor engagement, and community building. Working with the Catalyst team, the Foundry has named the platform, crafted a brand architecture and visual identity, supported the acquisition of funders and content partners, produced registration funnels that have attracted hundreds of entrepreneurs and advisors, successfully launched the beta platform, and managed the phased rollout of features.
