Posted in (A3) Venture Pitch, and KNOWLEDGE MILL

Introducing Mirro AI an exciting edtech investment opportunity, designed for the SpacesEDU learning management system in K-12 settings.

Venture investing is always a gamble, but tripling the value of your investment in less than five years isn’t.

By partnering with Magic School AI and raising funding, we will grow our North American market share, aiming to be a major competitor in rapidly growing global edtech and LMS markets by 2035.

Reflection on the use of AI in this assignment.

The web-based AI video creator, SteveAI, was incredibly useful in creating my elevator pitch video. I was able to copy and paste my script into the site and watch it create a video with stock, copyright free images and videos, supported with background audio and narration. This allowed me to focus on the content of the message freeing up time and creative effort for the venture pitch. I also used the Ecosia’s AI chatbot when researching and collecting ideas online, helping me to define terms and explore formatting for my work. I like using Ecosia, more for the sense of climate action it gives me while browsing the internet and less for the performance of their AI chatbot; it works well enough to support searches but Gemini is a more functional product in my opinion.

I grew up in a small town Nova Scotia. I played ice hockey in the winter and soccer in the summer. I spent weekends at the family dairy farm, and the rest was spent running around outside my home in the subdivision. My childhood was exciting and full of the adventures and discoveries that come with living in a rural community, just outside the city of Halifax. After graduating from St. Francis Xavier University with my B.A., I spent time travelling and working in different parts of Canada. After completed a sixty hour TESOL course with Oxford seminars in Calgary, Alberta I made arrangements to move to Beijing, China. In China, I discovered my passion for teaching. During these two years, I worked with kindergarteners as an English specialist at a Montessori school, helping students develop their language through story-telling and play. In 2011, I registered and enrolled in the Faculty of Education at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. Over the course of my B. Ed. program, I was determined to become a certified teacher, travelling and teaching internationally. My first three years of certified teaching began in Seoul, South Korea -- at a British Columbia Offshore school. The past five years of teaching have been spent at an American international school in Cairo, Egypt. Due to the onset of the pandemic in 2020, I have since returned to Canada. I am now a teacher on Vancouver Island in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. Life-long learning is an ideal that an educator adheres to -- both in professional practice and in personal life. Recognizing that there is a learning opportunity in every experience has helped me to overcome many obstacles and has been essential to my own growth and development as a person.

Opinion about its readiness to move forward.
Hey Patrick, This project helped me recognize the value of how learning management systems act as an adjunct in providing more services to students instead of a storage for grades and certifications. Having a strong push towards meta-cognitive features in an LMS leans heavily towards the push to be more psychologically safe and trauma-informed in the classrooms.

What would need to change for your to be excited about it?

I think the real valuable information is hidden in the middle. The AI features are presented near the end of the middle and while the idea of partnerships and the cost of the venture are exciting, I was having to dig through the “how is it different from other LMS” just a bit further. The strengths however was that, your comparisons with other LMS with this LMS shows that this software can compete, especially with the focus on meta-cognition and feedback during when students need it most in online activities.

REVIEW

Hi Patrick,

I appreciated the clarity and organization of your elevator pitch. Your venture pitch is clearly aimed at potential investors, with your research behind the growing market and your cogent pathway towards expansion and eventual return on investment. Centring your tool around helping students develop their metacognitive skills is also pedagogically sound!

Having an AI tool that will help me pose questions and provide feedback to students to encourage further reflection on their own learning definitely sounds like a wonderful tool that I would love to have as part of the Spaces.edu experience. One of the major pain points I have as a teacher who uses Spaces is the number of times I have to click on the platform if I want to go back and leave feedback to students if work is no longer easily accessible via my “recent posts” stream. Though I know that isn’t the sole aim of Mirro.ai, it also happens to solve one of my own personal frustrations with the platform.

You have a solid venture pitch, though I would suggest fleshing out the value proposition of Mirro.ai some more. In your venture pitch, you wrote that you plan to differentiate your LMS in a way not seen, so I think just really spelling out how you are different from other LMS platforms would make it even more compelling. For example, Moodle can be integrated with various AI plug-ins. Perhaps a comparison of how Moodle’s AI plug-in integration differs from Mirro.ai’s integration with Spaces would strengthen your value proposition.

As an EVA, if I could get a better sense of how Mirro.ai sets itself apart (for the better) from leading competing LMS platforms in terms of integrating AI tools, then I would invest. This is because some of these platforms already have a foothold in the US market, so I think breaking into that market with Spaces+Mirro would be challenging if there isn’t an ultra-clear and marketable value proposition.
