Launch of 2025 Global Startup Coach Award
Chance to win a maximum of US$100K as part of US$200K Prize Fund
DOHE, an EdTech Championing group, whose mission is to champion Edtech Startups to improve society, announces the launch of its 2025 Global Startup Coach Award (“GSCA” or the “Awards”) and calls all experienced business coaches to sign up to the awards for a chance to win part of a US$200,000 Prize Fund.
The Awards, which debuted in 2024 aim to increase the success rate of Edtech Startups globally, by identifying and showcasing talented coaches from diverse backgrounds and with different skillsets. Qualifying coaches are matched with an Edtech Startup and support the business through key phases of development across twenty coaching sessions. The coaching sessions are funded by DOHE and free to the startup companies.
100 startups were supported in DOHE’s 2024 accelerator programme (Go-Together) and the Company aims to support 200 startups in 2025. The Company has established collaborations with various eco system players including the MindCET, Bright Eye Ventures, and the University of Cambridge Judge Business School, who participated as judges last year and are committed to supporting EdTech entrepreneurs in meeting their business goals.
