LearnLaunch, McGraw-Hill Education Team Up To School EdTech Startups

Executives from McGraw-Hill Education will mentor local entrepreneurs as part of a partnership with Boston’s LearnLaunch edtech startup accelerator.

“Startups play an important role in the digital ecosystem, and as a ‘125-year-old startup’ ourselves, we feel a kinship with them,” Stephen Laster, chief digital officer of McGraw-Hill Education, said in a news release.

McGraw-Hill Education has funded LearnLaunch in the past, but this week’s announcement is a first public acknowledgement of the relationship.
