My two friends and I recently started an edtech started called Homeroom (it's live at homeroom.me) to promote collaboration and discussion in the classroom. It's a free online website that acts as a forum for students and teachers to answer each others' questions and discuss classroom content. We launched about three days ago and we've gotten about 900 total users including students just in a few schools we've reached out too in the bay area.<p>Does anyone have any advice on how to best reach out to teachers in other districts? We've been cold emailing teachers for now and seem to have a hit or miss with them. When we get a chance to explain ourselves teachers are really interested and we can usually get them to sign up with a class. Any advice would be much appreciated!

I think this text should be on the homepage: "Homeroom creates a secure environment for students and teachers to bring intellectual discussions from class and other parts of their educational experiences to the web. "
The first thing you show is a signup page. Why would I sign up if I find no value in the site?<p>"Where the world comes to learn"<p>If it's a forum, learn from stackoverflow, reddit, 4chan, etc: give everyone your content, and if people find value and want to contribute, they'll sign up.
