This is great news: it will allow new education startups to run for a whole year to validate whatever they've built in real classrooms. Because of the cyclical nature of the K12 school year, it can be hard to demonstrate traction without the means to operate for a full school year, and this new start fund move solves that problem.<p>I went through the first iteration of Imagine K12 with ClassDojo, and every member of the team was incredibly valuable in helping us launch the company. If you're doing an education technology startup, or thinking of starting one, I highly recommend you check them out.
