We are always looking for potential partners in our adventures but sometimes we stumble across someone (or a group of someones) that sound just like us! From everything that we have read and heard the eddefy founding team are an amazing group of very creative people!
"Learning paths are concept maps curated from all types of media and experiences, creating a clear step-`by-step process to achieve goals. Eddefy maps learning so you can follow the paths of other users and experts or express your own personal mastery by curating new paths of online and offline resources.
EDDEFY is adaptive: paths can be personalized for unique learning styles, allowing anyone to explore their interests and work to become masters in any
field. Over time, eddefy maps the paths you’ve traveled, so you can
visualize what you’ve learned and where you might want to explore next.
A personal knowledge graph, combined with a portfolio of accomplishments, puts job seekers a step ahead of the competition."
Did that sound familiar?
How about this?:
"Map your Mastery, demonstrate your expertise and build a reputation based on your skills."
Gareth: "I enjoyed a great inroductory call with Evonne Heyning, Strategic & Social Director) and Teal Furnholm (Scientist, AI & UX Director) last week and have been invited to meet the founding team at NASA Ames in Mountain View CA later this month. There is clearly tremendous synergy, I will keep you posted!"
