/ About this event
There’s no shortage of innovation in EdTech, but which ideas are creating meaningful learning outcomes, and which ones are still just hype?
Join us during SF Tech Week for a focused 30 - minute panel discussion bringing together founders, educators, operators, investors, and education leaders working across K–12 and postsecondary education.
Panel Discussion : Building Better Learning Journeys: From K–12 to Higher Education
We’ll explore what is genuinely improving how students learn across different stages of education, from building strong foundations in the early years to preparing learners for higher education, careers, and a rapidly changing world.
Meet the panelists :
Smita Bakshi - Co-founder and former CEO of zyBooks, acquired by Wiley, and former leader of Wiley’s Academic Learning division.
Sophie Ren : Founder and CEO of Chatslide AI, founder of DouXing, and a Forbes 30 Under 30 entrepreneur.
Malvika Bhagwat : Partner and Head of Outcomes at Owl Ventures, where she has advised 80+ EdTech startups on measuring and improving learning outcomes.
The panel will be followed by approximately one hour of networking with EdTech founders, investors, educators, operators, students, and builders shaping the future of learning.
No generic “future of education” predictions. No surface-level AI conversations. Just honest insights, meaningful connections, and a closer look at what’s actually working across education.
