Education Ecosystem (LEDU) is a project-based learning platform that teaches its users how to build products in areas such as programming, game development, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data science, and blockchain.[1][2][3][4][5] In 2018, the company completed and closed a $10 million token crowdfunding to build new projects on its platform that is available for transactions with education coin (LEDU).[6][7]
History[edit]
2015-2016[edit]
LiveEdu was originally founded by Jamie Green & Dr. Michael J. Garbade in 2014 under the name Livecoding.tv.[8] The idea behind LiveEdu was inspired by Garbade playing games on Twitch.tv and developing software in a Linux virtualbox environment. The platform was created with the idea of "Twitch.tv but solely for software engineers to share code".[2] The platform became an educational live streaming site where people code products live in various programming languages such as C, C++ and C#.[9][10][11][12]
LiveEdu received its first round of funding from EU Accelerator EuropeanPioneers and in 2015 it joined startup accelerator Y Combinator. The company garnered media attention after its launch, including mentions in TechCrunch,[2] CNN Money,[13] and Mashable.[14]
