Over the last year or so, we've seen an auspicious rise in the number of startups looking to tackle those seemingly intractable problems in both K-12 and higher education. One of these startups, the New York City-based
ShowMe, found some early financial validation from an impressive set of investors, raising
$800K last August from the likes of Lerer Ventures, SV Angel, betaworks, Learn Capital, and angel investor Naval Ravikant. Those familiar with
Khan Academy -- the startup that offers an impressive web library of videos on everything from arithmetic and physics to finance and history to let students learn at their own pace -- will likely find it easy to understand ShowMe's appeal. The startup is taking a bottom-up approach to the Khan Academy model.
