Competition. With this in mind… We do not feel as though we have any competition. We know that many start-ups feel this way. We differentiate what we do (software features) from what we aspire to be. Shifting paradigms takes time and we are helping the industry shift over time with recognized solutions. Our mission is not to sell software. However, We will sell some software. Our mission is to create an education ecosystem, a content distribution network and a student based credential system. We do not have a single competitor who has this goal in mind. We do not think in the future if we succeed anyone will be doing what these companies do today. They are to us what Blockbuster was to Netflix. With this in mind… Here are some matrixes so that you can check the boxes.
