EduSpaze

EduSpaze is Singapore’s first dedicated edtech accelerator, launched in 2019 by Spaze Ventures. Supported by Enterprise Singapore, it focuses on nurturing early-stage startups that address key challenges in the education sector across Southeast Asia. The accelerator offers seed funding of up to S$500,000 and access to an extensive regional network of schools, universities, and mentors. Startups in EduSpaze’s portfolio tackle diverse educational needs, ranging from K-12 to higher education and corporate learning solutions. Notable companies from its cohorts include Flying Cape, Noodle Factory, and Makers Empire, all of which leverage technology to enhance learning outcomes. While many startups focus on traditional education, EduSpaze has expanded its focus to include platforms for extracurricular activities and professional upskilling. For example, "Skilledin Green" helps individuals in the sustainability sector build green resumes and access courses, while "Startup Early" offers solutions for managing extracurricular programs in educational institutions. EduSpaze typically selects startups with strong founding teams and high growth potential, helping them accelerate to market through its three-month program. Its regional focus spans Southeast Asia, but it also supports international startups looking to enter the region. The accelerator is known for fostering innovation beyond traditional academic boundaries, helping shape the future of learning in the region.
