What does it mean to work at a startup?

Working at a startup has its own challenges and it is no secret that your risk is high and your stability and comfort is low. Yet you get to learn more, have a say in decision making and experiment new technology. It is also a game changer if the startup gained traction, investment, and growth. Because simply you will be part of the winning team that made it all happen.

If you are a risk-taker and wish to work at a startup you need to do your homework. Study the startup as an investor. You should ask the following questions:

• Who are the founders & what is their background?
• What is the product & how did the idea came about?
• Is there a big market & need for this product?
• How many users are their & What deals/contracts did the startup make?
• What technologies is the startup using & why?
• Who is the team & what are their experience?
• How long has the startup been around?
• What stage of investment is the startup at?

So if I ware to convence someone to work with me at EDaura I would say:

1. We are three founders with a cumulative of 45 years experience in managing startups and SMEs. We currently have successful businesses and this is our new baby “EDaura”
2. The product is a learning management software made simple after working closely with teachers from around the world. The idea evolved because most of the founders’ experience is in the educational technology sector and have been working with schools and universities for years in providing technology solutions both hardware and software
3. The market is huge. If you want to think about it there is 1.5 billion learner around the world. Yes there is a need for education technology. It must be easy-to-use so UX is king. Go to www.edaura.com and let me know what you think of our UX
4. We have more than 0.5 million users and we recently signed a contract to supply 4 countries in the Middle East by connecting 500 schools together. We are just getting started and we have many leads in our pipeline
5. We are Cloud and native on Android & iOS. The experience we gained by being cloud is amazing. We are also aiming to get the Ed-Fi for code standard (www.ed-fi.org)
6. The team has a cumulative experience of 25+ years of experience. The team is passionate and is working to make a difference in life. They love to learn new technologies and they seek advise whenever possible. We also work with consultants to design a proper cloud architecture and secure our system according to international standards
7. The startup pivoted in 2015 yet it started in 2012. The experience gained throughout those years made the new product a winner
8. The startup is bootstrapping and is now seeking investment

At EDaura we believe that if you wish to make this place better you need to improve learning. Technology can connect educators and learner in ways never before possible. This is why EDaura is working hard to help educators and learners connect through technology.
