For Educational Technology Startup
What is Serendipity Technologies?
We are a dedicated group of people working hard on a tough problem. Learning new skills is a universal point of pain for passionate people trying to advance their careers. In order to stay relevant, they must continue learning throughout their lives. So we provide them with timely, specialized and high quality education by turning the traditional education model on its head and allowing anyone to teach online. While the sex appeal of the problem may seem lacking, we genuinely believe that solving society’s big problems is super sexy. And so are you.
Serendipity Technologies is not your average e-learning company. We’re building both proprietary technology and open source software into an educational platform in order to provide experts of all disciplines with the tools to create their own online courses and teach any subject over the internet. Equipped with initial seed investment and a brainy team of technologists, we’re going after an otherwise ignored market segment, using an approach no one has used before.
