EdTechReview.in is thrilled to announce Braintrust Tutors, the most comprehensive high-dosage, evidence-based tutoring platform for K-12 students, has recently raised $2.5 million in a seed round led by prominent investors Scott Sandell, John Chambers, and LAUNCH and The Syndicate led by Jason Calacanis. This new investment aims to provide Braintrust with the necessary resources to further enhance its state-of-the-art platform, expand its nationwide network of certified teachers and learning specialists, and reach more students.
Co-founded by Mara Koffmann and Jen Mendelsohn in 2019, Braintrust Tutors is a progressive and inclusive platform designed to address the vast majority of students neglected by the one-size-fits-all tutoring model, including those with learning differences, those lacking proficiency with reading and math, and those struggling with pandemic-related learning loss. Its personalized learning programs are tailored to each student’s needs to accelerate learning, delivered by expertly trained, certified teachers and learning specialists. This mission is to close the achievement gap that has long plagued schools and only worsened during this pandemic.
Speaking about the recent funding, Co-founder & CBO of Braintrust Tutors, Jen Mendelsohn, said: “We are excited to have access to such an impressive group of investors, all of whom have the knowledge and experience to help our business grow. Their guidance and support will be invaluable in our journey to new heights.”
Braintrust has partnered with schools and districts nationwide to create high-impact tutoring interventions that greatly accelerate academic outcomes for vulnerable students. It has developed the Braintrust Reading Program©, which uses a meticulously crafted curriculum based on decades of research and the science of reading, combined with creative, gamified lesson plans and a robust technology platform, to make learning more accessible and engaging.
President of LAUNCH, Mike Savino, added: “Braintrust’s unique solutions are the gold standard for schools and districts seeking effective, high-dosage academic interventions. We believe Braintrust has a generational opportunity to close equity gaps for the millions of at-risk students who struggle to achieve proficiency with foundational reading and math skills.”
Braintrust Tutors is an innovative EdTech platform designed to help K-12 students reach their academic goals. With the recent seed round led by prominent investors, Braintrust Tutors is poised to reach even more students with its state-of-the-art platform and certified teachers and learning specialists. This new funding will help the company close educational equity gaps and provide students with the resources they need to succeed.
