Ah yes, the annual resurfacing of this blog post :) unfortunately I think most of it is still true. I should do a follow up...

Edit: I'll address the comments/thoughts here in a follow up blog post. Glad to see so many people thinking about this space. It's a great thing for the world to have entrepreneurs building here.

"The underlying culture will change and expose interesting opportunities in the long term, but probably not for another 5 years."

Given those 5 years have now passed, what's your assessement of the situation now?

I thought I had read the post before. Thank you for the insights, and I hope that you can do that follow-up!

One thing not mentioned which I think is important is the ease of paying (whether the edtech is app or web-based). It’s all very well to target those in poorer countries, but many of them (consumers) still don’t have online banking, and payment gateways are often local and clunky (I did notice in my last trip to Asia that this is improving.) I’d love to hear your thoughts on this :)

About to take an edtech startup to the consumer market- would love to see your updated advice!

I'm currently working in ed-tech, so a followup would be greatly appreciated!
