Ageless explorer with 25yrs in research & innovation. Recently added an Ed.M. from Harvard with a specialty in Learning Design. Committed to educational equity and opportunities for ages 0-100.
10,000 baby boomers will retire every day for the next 15 years, with increase in the risk for depression by 40% due to loss of social and cognitive stimulation, not to mention this new generation of seniors wants more out of retirement than simply leisure. Yet, few solutions in exist to address their deep desires to grow, thrive, and continue to contribute meaningfully.
Inspired by Asia’s booming senior education market that addresses those needs well, EverLearn is a marketplace for high-quality, hybrid senior education. We use a unique purpose-led pedagogy and capped, intimate classes to create a new vision of Inspired Aging in the 21st century.
We will be using both B2C and B2B2C strategies to achieve ambitious user + instructor + booking growth. By December 2024, we aim to have 10K active users, $300K MRR, 2 institutional partnerships, and raise a seed round at 5x our previous valuation.
America finally has its 1st generation of digitally literate seniors, especially post-COVID, and a retirement tsunami. An exploding retiree population + an undersaturated senior education market (only 2% served, few competitors) + seniors ready & experimenting with online & hybrid classes during COVID = the unprecedented "Why Now." This is the absolute best time to get into EdTech for seniors.
The U.S. market is worth $52B growing at 18% CAGR, and only 2% is currently served (super undersaturated). We can scale quickly and dominate through B2B2C
Seniors who are the "Ageless Explorer" type in retirement; age 60-75, still live at home, in good health, can drive; crave intellectual and social stimulation; seek continuous personal growth and do not believe in "retiring from life"; want to keep feeling inspired, excited, relevant, and accomplished; want to keep up with the latest knowledge; want to keep contributing to society meaningfully.
