History

Eduventures was founded in 1993 by Michael R. Sandler, a graduate of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. The company's first report, the annual “Education Industry Report” was one of the first systematic attempts to analyze education as an industry sector. Eduventures later expanded its services to include financial research and advice to education entrepreneurs and the venture capital community.[1] From there, Eduventures branched into new areas such as advising publishers and technology providers about the higher education and K-12 markets and began providing traditional strategic consulting to colleges and universities.

In August 2004, Eduventures founded the Continuing and Professional Education Learning Collaborative, its first Learning Collaborative program. Other Learning Collaboratives soon followed, with the Academic Leadership Learning Collaborative launched as the most recent program in March 2008.[2]

In 2014, Tony Friscia became the President and CEO of Eduventures.[3] Eduventures is financially backed by the Invus Group LLC.[4]
