EdTech Thoughts Weekly Update 5/31

Spider-man isn't the only one entering the Multiverse this week

Hello!

I hope that many of you enjoyed Monday’s free edition, Weekend Reading.

This note, the Weekly Update, is for paid subscribers. It provides commentary and analysis of why companies are being funded and political/strategic moves are being made in the space. Today we’ll cover Andrew Ng’s new EdTech darling, Multiverse’s first-ever acquisition, Guild’s layoffs, and the expansion of outdoor preschool programs, among other things.

For newer subscribers (and old subscribers who have forgotten how much fun the Weekly Update is), I am offering a month-long trial of the paid newsletter so you can see the difference.

The holiday weekend in the US disrupted the posting schedule a bit. Going forward, you can expect Weekend Reading to hit your inbox on Sundays and the Weekly Update to come Tuesday mornings.
