What drives it
A format people already use
Vertical video, under a minute, swipe to the next. Nobody has to learn a new habit to use spirkz, only to point an old one at something worth learning.
Learners bring learners
Every lesson can be shared, and shared spirkz links open straight in the app. A good explainer sent to a friend is how a new user arrives.
Creators bring audiences
Each teacher or professional who joins the creator program adds lessons to the catalogue, and gives the people who already follow them a reason to come along.
Who we are looking for
spirkz is looking for investors who want to back a growing EdTech business early, and for partners who can help it reach more learners. If that is you, we would like to hear from you.
