Overview


NTC Studios, a combined entity of The National Theatre for Children, Inc. (NTC) and Livestream Learning Studio (Studio), is seeking $10 million to accelerate its expansion into the K-12 edtech subscription marketplace.

Since 1978, NTC has performed in over 60,000 schools to 25 million students in the US, Australia, and New Zealand


Stable and profitable for 45 years – develops interactive multi-media content and curricular support materials in a variety of subjects delivered live in K-12 schools through theatrical all-school assemblies


Works with large corporate, non-profit and government agencies to teach important societal issues to students, their parents and educators


Studio is a new product line – edtech subscription service for grades K-12 with significant upside opportunities for US schools and the global education market


18 months developing and testing this proprietary platform and portal to deliver live interactive multi-media content and curricular support materials in a variety of subjects


Opportunity


Since 2020, the global pandemic has further exacerbated three of the largest concerns among K-12 districts: learning loss, teacher retention and school culture


The K-12 marketplace is enormous with over 130,000 schools in the US alone


Edtech is now estimated at $127 billion in the US and growing by 17% annually


Technology is required as a learning resource, not just a learning tool


NTC Studios’ annual school subscription model is built to be high-margin, high-growth and high-retention in the domestic and global edtech market


Solution


LLS is a new and revolutionary edtech subscription service for elementary schools


LLS has spent 24 months developing and testing a unique proprietary event portal with access to every classroom in the world with a connection to the internet


The portal delivers live-interactive curriculum events into thousands of classrooms at the same time


LLS have proven that the delivery of live, real-time, interactive theatrical performances accelerates learning


Strategy


The Magic is the Event Portal

No new hardware

No new software

No IT department needed for connection

If you have access to the internet, you have access to the livestreams
