VC VISION: "When [edtech startups] get to Series A, because of where the industry now, they don't get an 'education discount.' They're compared to the other consumer companies out there."

There she shares her take on the investment landscape, the rise of "teacherpreneurs," why the Bay Area's stocked with talent, and that dreaded "bubble." Those with money on their minds should also check our recap of a recent EdSurge event where Carolan and James Byers from Wikispaces debated the merits of going after VC money.
