Where to find customers in education
Education buyers split into two worlds that should never share a pitch: teachers and administrators spending district money, and operators of bootcamps, tutoring centers, and corporate academies spending like small businesses. Teachers gather in massive Facebook groups, Reddit, and Teachers Pay Teachers comment threads. Administrators show up in LMS user communities, ISTE-adjacent spaces, and procurement-heavy forums. Bootcamp operators and edtech founders behave more like SaaS. This hub points you at the right room so you do not pitch an LMS upsell in a group that exists to share free worksheets. Each audience page lists where feature requests, curriculum pain, and 'our LMS is unusable' threads actually land.

Frequently asked questions
Is it okay to market in teacher Facebook groups?
Only if the group allows it, and most of the large ones do not. Teachers have a finely tuned detector for vendors. Share a genuinely free resource with no funnel, or stay out. Admin and LMS communities are more vendor-tolerant if you disclose. Check the rules gotcha on each audience page.
Who actually buys: the teacher or the district?
Teachers buy low-ticket resources with a credit card. Districts buy LMS, assessment, and safety tools through procurement, often after a teacher championed it. If your ACV is above a few hundred dollars, you need the administrator page and the teacher page — the teacher is the champion, not the budget.
Where do bootcamp operators hang out compared with K-12?
Bootcamp operators look like startup founders: Twitter/X, Indie Hackers, Course Report-adjacent discussions, and Slack. K-12 is Facebook, Reddit, and conferences. Do not run the same ads. The vocabulary for 'completion rate' vs 'standards alignment' is a tell you are in the wrong thread.
