Education
Schools, classrooms, and the people who run them.
Heads of school, classroom teachers, curriculum designers. The team has run schools, written policy, and made the daily decisions that shape what reaches a child.
Where education meets innovation
We work at the intersection of schools and the businesses building for them — helping educators navigate change, and ensuring the products and services reaching schools genuinely earn their place.
Schools & Educators
Working alongside school leaders making decisions about technology, AI, and the products and services they bring in.
We evaluate vendors, write procurement scorecards, and stay engaged throughout to deliver real impact.
For SchoolsFor Education Businesses
Working alongside education businesses — software, hardware, and services alike — to get the product right for the market and into the schools that will use it.
We help with pilots, procurement, and the year-two reviews that decide whether the deal holds.
For Businesses
Three pillars
Education, technology and commercials
Technology
Products built, shipped, and pressure-tested.
Product builders, technical architects, AI specialists. We have shipped EdTech products, evaluated dozens more, and know what holds up in a real timetable.
Commercial
Deals closed, partnerships built, renewals delivered.
Founders, commercial leads, partnership directors. We have raised capital, sold into education systems, and stayed on through year two.
Three pillars
We come from education, not just technology.
EdV was founded by educators, commercial leaders, and technology experts who saw too many products built without a genuine understanding of schools.
Our team includes former head-teachers, curriculum designers, and policy advisors, alongside commercial leaders and product specialists who've built and sold into education.
People who've lived the challenges schools face.

What we do
The work changes with which side of the table you're on — the schools and universities choosing what they bring in, and the businesses selling into them.
How we workWe work out where technology fits, and draft the policies that keep leaders, teachers, and parents aligned.
- AI and EdTech strategy aligned to how the school actually teaches
- Acceptable-use and data-protection policy, drafted with senior leaders and teachers
- Board and senior-leadership briefings on the technology landscape
Detailed buyer scorecards across categories, so a purchase rests on evidence rather than a sales deck.
- Vendor demos pressure-tested with practising educators
- Reference calls with comparable schools and groups
- Procurement, contract, and SLA review
Support through the implementation period that decides whether the technology actually lands.
- Rollout and onboarding planned with the people delivering it
- Change support across departments and year groups
- Year-two reviews of usage, impact, and renewal value
Go-to-market built around how schools, groups, universities and ministries actually buy — positioning and pipeline shaped to how each of them really decides.
- Positioning and messaging for the three audiences who decide
- Target-school strategy across K-12, higher ed, and lifelong learning
- Pricing and packaging that survives a finance review
Whether the product fits how schools actually teach and operate — and what it takes to get it there.
- Fit with how schools actually teach, across different markets
- Cultural and regional sensitivity across UK, Middle East, and Southeast Asia
- Barriers to adoption surfaced before they stall a rollout
Staying credible after the contract is signed, so the technology lands in lesson plans, not just on laptops.
- Adoption and onboarding planned with the schools delivering it
- Reference-building with comparable schools and groups
- Renewal and partnership health over time
