Creating Opportunity Through Affordability, One Textbook at a Time.

ecoText is streamlining the process of obtaining textbooks by increasing convenience and affordability for all. They bring the traditional textbook to life by allowing students to engage with publications on any smart device. The ecoText platform includes features like note-taking, bookmarking, highlighting, keyword searching, and more. ecoText was designed by modern students for modern students.

They take the “Spotify” model one step further by eliminating the out-of-pocket cost students face to obtain their educational materials. Through the unique ecoText platform, they are creating an “eco-system” between publishers, universities, students, and faculty that generates economic, educational, and environmental value for all parties involved.

The expectation for students to purchase expensive books often places them in stressful financial circumstances. With ecoText, titles are made affordable and accessible, right in the palms of their hands. The traditional textbook is coming to life by allowing students to engage with their books on any device. Additionally, their partners can increase their customer base 3x, multiplying sales, and outreach in universities without deploying additional resources. They have over 450 current users that represent 25 different universities & colleges from Boston University, Howard University, Arizona State University, and Alaska Bible College. They have been learning constantly and the development team has been diligently refining the product by solving pain points for the anticipated paid pilot in Fall 2020, when ecoText 3.0 will be released with highly-demanded collaborative features.

ecoText is an environmentally sustainable, affordable solution to the inefficient and deeply flawed process of purchasing textbooks, building towards an accessible future.
