[buisness0243]

Startl can be a quite remarkable new challenge primarily based right here in NYC. It's a startup accelerator (like Y Combinator, TechStars, Seedcamp,Office Professional Plus 2007 Activation, etc) but focused entirely on entrepreneurs working in education. It's a non-profit backed by the Hewlett, MacArthur, and Gates foundations which is really a collection if you ask me.  Another thing that makes Startl fascinating is the partnerships it has with IDEO,Office Professional 2007 Activation Key, DreamIT Ventures,Windows 7 Serial Key, and Berkeley & Noyes (leading investment bankers in education). Startl has two programs that anyone working on "hacking education" should be interested in: Design Boost can be described as five day bootcamp right here in NYC from March 15th to 19th. This first Design Boost will focus on the design of mobile apps for learning and will feature designers from IDEO who will help the selected teams with their design and development process. Up to 15 teams will be selected for Design Boost. Details on how to apply are right here. The application deadline for Design Boost is February 22nd.Accelerator is part of the DreamIT Ventures summer program in Philadelphia from Will probably to August. Startl will select five "learning companies" to participate in the regular DreamIT Ventures program. Details on how to apply are here. The application deadline for Accelerator is March 15th.Startl was started by two friends of mine and our firm,Microsoft Office 2007, Diana Rhoten and Laurie Racine,Office 2007 Enterprise Key, and their colleague Phoenix Wang. We've known Diana and Laurie for a long time, they are committed to the concept that the innovationstartup world can have a big social impact, specially on education. I am excited by their work on Startl and hope that some of you will apply and take advantage of these two programs.
