Instantly match your edtech grants platform with student gov leaders for RFP-free pilots
Edtech founders can't gain traction for student government grants platforms because schools refuse to pilot without massive RFP processes.
Edtech founders create profiles showcasing their student grants platform, while verified student government reps from K-12 and higher ed search and match directly for quick student-led pilots. The platform handles introductions, basic agreements, and tracks pilot progress, bypassing slow school RFPs. Gain traction with real usage data from student orgs to later approach admins.
