What did I learn?
How can you try to succeed?
Guru-App assessment
•One stop shop for public references•30,000 references, 15,000 questions•Mobile first, Free to use•Targets localised revision
FAILURE (currently)
Why a failure?• Insufficient critical
mass• Local market too small
for freemium edtech• CAC is tough without
visibility of LTV
Market could be ready in the future.. But when?
Malaysian market condition• Self-renewing market•Publishers are not in the apps space• E-books are not yet cool• IAP industry still messy•Kids learn differently nowadays
Challenging (for now)

How to maximise chances of success?
• Government ties• Good content• Distribution• Non-commoditised tech• Recognised accreditation
Follow big market or deep market?
My 2 cents for big bucks
• High volume, low ARPU• Low volume, high ARPU• Unless funded, you need
high LTV products for now
Tech is an enabler, not the answer
• Distribution platform/marketplace• LMS/VLE/B2B servicing business• Games- especially preschool, primary• Augmented reality, Machine learning
Most Edtech NOT high tech NOR revolutionary
Local case studiesIP, scale, tech, bricks and mortar
6 magic phrases in Education Tech
Gamification
Adaptive Learning Mobile first
Efficacy Blended Learning
Flipped Classroom
