Lead your team with clarity, confidence, and credibility

Leadership can lonely... but it doesn't have to be

Even experienced leaders know that running a function in K–12 ed-tech comes with challenges you can’t always solve alone. You’re carrying responsibility for results, navigating competing priorities, and working across departments to deliver on company goals.

You’re not alone — many VPs, Directors and Senior Managers encounter:

  • Pressure to align their teams to shifting company priorities
  • The challenge of influencing peers without direct authority
  • Feeling isolated in the role, with few peers to compare approaches or validate decisions

Frequently Asked Questions

Who should participate?

The membership is designed for leaders in Sales, Marketing, Product and Customer Success roles in K-12 ed-tech companies. There are distinct peer groups for Functional leaders (VPs, Directors and Senior Managers) and Emerging Leaders (first-time managers and aspiring leaders). 

At this time, there are no dedicated peer groups for Executive Leaders (SVP, C-level) , however those individuals still can access all other member benefits (discussion threads, events, webinars, curated resources, member directory).

What is Founding Membership?

Founding Membership is a limited opportunity to join the new online community at its launch stage. These members will receive first access as the platform opens and will also receive the Insight Videos and Mini Courses (when released in early 2026) at no additional charge. 

Founding Members lock in special pricing that will never increase. Once our Founding Memberships have been filled, only standard memberships will be available, and will be subject to periodic price increases.

Do members need to attend every meeting and event?

No. Members can engage at the level that fits their role and schedule. Some will prioritize monthly peer Forums, while others may participate more through asynchronous discussion threads or Collective Conversations. The online community is designed to be valuable whether a member joins frequently or taps in selectively.

Does the Collective have memberships at the corporate level?

Yes. Please visit this page to learn more about our flat-rate corporate membership.

Is the Collective membership open to those who are currently in a job transition?

Yes. Our online community is intended for ed-tech professionals who want to learn and grow as leaders, as well as share their knowledge and experience with others. We welcome your contributions to this community. Please note that our user guidelines prohibit direct solicitation for employment opportunities, freelance work, or requests that are beyond the scope of the learning environment that may be unwanted by fellow members.

Is the Collective membership open to vendors, consultants or advisory firms?
No. Our online community is a safe space for peer-to-peer interaction. If you are a consultant/vendor and have insights and information you’d like to share with the members of the Collective, please contact us to see if there is an appropriate avenue to incorporate your insights into a future program offering (webinar, discussion thread, etc.).
