What edWeb.net does

edWeb LLC operates a free online professional learning community serving K-12 educators, headquartered in Skillman, NJ, with 11-50 employees. Its core platform delivers approximately 400 new live edWebinars annually across topics such as literacy, math, AI in education, social-emotional learning, and leadership, supplemented by a library of 4,000+ on-demand recordings and 600+ podcasts distributed across 15+ platforms including Apple, Spotify, Google, and Amazon Music. Educators can earn free CE certificates accepted in 42 states for teacher license renewal, and districts can provision private Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) with participation tracking, reporting, and implementation support.

The business model is sponsor-funded freemium: all individual features are free, with the platform supported by a 500+ partner ecosystem that includes major educational publishers (HMH, Scholastic, Amplify, Discovery Education, Renaissance), assessment providers (NWEA, Lexia), professional associations (ISTE, AASA, CoSN), and nonprofits (Khan Academy, Code.org, Common Sense Education). The only direct revenue surface appears to be District Membership/Private PLC contracts, which include consulting, training, and implementation services. Distribution is entirely digital and self-serve for individuals, with field engagement reserved for district-level deployments. The company is privately held as an LLC, has no disclosed funding rounds, and appears bootstrapped/sustainable through its sponsorship model.
