About This Project

Summary

On Pitch Playground, we invite education innovators to pitch us their best ideas to transform learning. On the line? $50,000. Each episode of this 10-episode podcast features an edupreneur workshopping a project to solve a critical problem in education. At season’s end, the audience votes and the winner is awarded $50,000 to make their bold vision a reality.

Goals & Objectives

In making this a podcast, we hoped to inspire and mobilize change-makers in education, raise awareness for all projects featured, and establish 4.0 as a leading voice in education innovation.

Results & Impact

Pitch Playground has translated into great engagement for 4.0, with over 2,500 people voting on the winner. We’ve gotten great feedback from entrepreneurs who want to work with us, and since airing, several of the projects have received additional mentorship or funding opportunities.
