Join us for an ASK Me Anything session with Timothy Toomey, Managing Director at Accenture and former CEO of Ascendient Learning, which was acquired by Accenture.

We’ll cover:

Building early traction: how to recognize real product–market fit in the learning space and the most common mistakes early-stage EdTech founders make
Designing learning that works: how startups can create learning experiences that fit into the workflow of employees, rather than becoming another task on their to-do list
Scaling into enterprise: what makes a workforce EdTech startup credible to large organizations and how founders should think about enterprise adoption early on
The acquisition journey: lessons from scaling Ascendient Learning and selling it to Accenture — including what buyers actually care about during acquisition conversations
Future of corporate learning: key trends in workforce skills and training that startups should be building for today

If you’re building an EdTech or workforce learning solution, come ready for practical takeaways and honest insights you can apply immediately.
