2U (TWOU): The Growth Potential in Cloud-Based Education
Harvesters,
This is an excerpt from my research on 2U, a company that provides cloud-based SaaS solutions that enable nonprofit colleges and universities to deliver quality education to qualified students across the globe.
" Paradoxically, the student debt bubble cliché could ultimately be a net positive for 2U. Because of escalating tuition rates, unemployment and a massive student debut burden in the United States – which has now reached more than $1 trillion – there is tremendous momentum to disrupt education as we know it and provide an alternative, or at least a complement, to the traditional and largely one-size-fits-all bricks-and-mortar school system.

Technological innovation has finally caught up to the
potential at hand. As a result, education is undergoing a monumental shift,
from a factory model to a digital, personalized model. In other words, 2U is
not only solving a problem in a niche sector, but is actually leading a
tectonic shift in the $7 trillion education industry
