History
[edit]EdSurge was founded in 2011 by Elizabeth Corcoran, a former executive editor of Forbes, and Nick Punt, a former product vice president at Inigral.[2]
As of December 2015, the company had raised $5.6 million in funding.[3]
EdSurge's managing editor, Tony Wan, was named in 2014 to Forbes "30 Under 30" list, and its senior editor, Mary Jo Madda, was named to the 2016 Forbes list.[4][5]
In May 2018, EdSurge was identified by the Brookings Institution as one of the world's 16 leading "innovation spotters" in education.[6]
In November 2019, the International Society for Technology in Education, a non-profit organization focused on education and technology, acquired EdSurge for an undisclosed amount.[7] The acquisition made EdSurge into a nonprofit.[8]
