July 1, 2022
Edukasyon

Say hi to Edukasyon! This Philippine edtech has just raised new funding! Though the amount for this bridge round is hush-hush, we've got the scoop on what they're up to.

  • Since the close of their Series A in 2020, they've tripled revenue and hit profitability for their B2B division.
  • They have nearly 1M registered users and a community of 8M+ students.

Who cashed in? KSR Ventures, Lorinet Foundation, Bisk Ventures and more.

📚 How it works

Founded in 2015, they help Filipino students access resources, tools and opportunities to level up their education and future careers.

Finder. They're best known for their college and career platform! It helps students across the entire journey from understanding themselves, applying to senior high school, scholarships and universities (local and foreign), learning new skills and starting their careers.

  • You can also access college and career counselors, find internships, view career paths and view job listings.

🌟 What's new

The cash is to double down on their new product! It's EDGE Tutor, which offers online tutoring services focused on math and English lessons for K12 students aged 4 to 16.

  • They piloted EDGE in May and now have 1000 classes booked and hundreds of hours of classes held.
  • The classes do more than just match the Philippine department of education's standards — they're on par with global standards.

Why it matters. The country has 27M learners navigating K12 in the digital world. The local tutoring space is still highly fragmented and traditional, even with rising demand for quality live online tutoring.

  • The pandemic has increased the adoption of online learning and improved internet access and infrastructure.
