Scale your EdTech startup inside Arizona State University
We're Arizona State University's EdTech accelerator. We put early-stage education startups into paid pilots across ASU (190,000 students, 4,000 faculty, and 20,000 staff) so you can prove your product works where you sell it.
What our portfolio shows
A pilot at ASU puts your product in use with students, faculty, and staff at full scale. That evidence is what other universities pay attention to.
How ASU ScaleU works
Four stages take you from first conversation to university-wide adoption inside ASU
One university big enough to prove it
Test your product with 190,000 students, 4,000 faculty, and 20,000 staff. ASU is large enough to show it works at scale.
Funded pilots
Pilots are paid, not free. When a department puts money on the line, it commits the people and attention your pilot needs to succeed.
30+ companies, 7 exits
Join 30+ portfolio companies with 7 exits. 80% of ASU students already use something from our portfolio.
Four-stage acceleration pathway
From first review to university-wide rollout, these are the four stages.
Alignment review
We look for products that fix an urgent problem for the university and fit what ASU is trying to do.
Executive alignment
Direct access to decision-makers. You present to deans, CIOs, and budget owners who can greenlight a pilot contract.
Operational validation
Paid pilots test your product against university systems, with integration and security checked under operating conditions.
Enterprise conversion
A pilot that works opens the door to procurement, including university-wide licensing and adoption across the system.
