We’re launching OC-X!
OC-X: An accelerator to support EdTech founders
Open Campus is partnering with NewCampus to launch the first cohort of OC-X (the Open Campus Accelerator) for EdTech founders kicking off on Friday, September 22nd!
OC-X is a DAO-voted, bold initiative to onboard innovative education and future-of-work startups into the Open Campus ecosystem, leveraging the community, infrastructure, and $EDU ecosystem.
For our first cohort, we’ve got an incredible lineup of 10 adult learning educators and content creators from 5 different countries, each with deep expertise in their verticals. From the hospitality space to the African creator sector, the diversity of this first cohort represents just one of many collaborations needed to foster a thriving, inclusive ecosystem through the $EDU token.
Will Fan, CEO of NewCampus says,
“The $EDU infrastructure opens up a world of possibilities. These EdTech startups are proving their adaptability, serving B2B, B2C, and B2G markets, and taking on end-to-end learner support, from content creation to student services.”

- Carlos Raul Garcia (Educup, USA)

OC-X is designed for EdTech founders who

Other resources the accelerator provides include:
