Seedstars and Edlal are joining forces to create an online entrepreneurial course for aspiring entrepreneurs. That aims to contribute to the vision and direction of the future of entrepreneurial education. Most ecosystems have a vibrant aspiring and early-stage entrepreneurs community. They need to be equipped with tools to face the "Valley of Death" and grow towards their product-market fit (break-even point and beyond). 2022 has marked a turning point in the use of technology for educational purposes. Online learning is increasingly becoming the go-to for creating a tool-box of soft and hard skills for entrepreneurship-development worldwide.
