I am struck by how outside the "norm" education-derived projects are, related to funding.

Everyone so far has a commercial orientation, aligned with typical corporate business and revenue models. As such they are emphasizing investors, customers, start-ups, etc.

Also of note is a, perhaps European, emphasis on goverment funding.

I don't think the education sector and the institutions that produce it, can take advantage of these approaches.
