Helping teachers create diverse and inclusive learning communities is the mission of Amsterdam-based EdTech startup, StellarUp. The company has recently raised $545,000 (€500,000) in a seed round from a US tech investor, and will use the funds to improve and accelerate its user interface and experience design (UI/ UX) features and integration, as well as boost marketing.
Founded in 2020 by Estelle Roux-Stevens and Julian Roux-Stevens, StellarUp was created to help teachers and administrators easily connect and share knowledge within their schools and institutions. The platform offers solutions that enable knowledge sharing with various tools, such as mentor programs, e-learning academies, online resource libraries, and community solutions.
Estelle Roux-Stevens, Co-founder of StellarUp, commented on the fundraising: “We are incredibly excited about the future of StellarUp. With this capital investment and level of trust, our mission-driven team is primed to expand our product’s reach and elevate it to new heights of improved performance, speed, and excellence.”
Since its launch, the startup has on-boarded a number of large-scale, non-profit and government projects, including Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland, Giving Back, BufferSprings, The United Nations Foundation, Aleto Foundation, ScaleNL, Konstanz University in Germany, Hogeschool Utrecht – University of Applied Sciences, InvestNL and more.
The US tech investor added: “Mentoring and knowledge sharing between people play a key role in tackling HR Challenges. StellarUp’s platform effectively connects growth and learning opportunities within an organisation efficiently. I am impressed by the speed of the founding team to capture opportunities in a fast-growing market by providing unparalleled solutions.”
Teachers and administrators can use StellarUp to create diverse and inclusive learning communities that recognise the potential of their students and encourage collaboration. With its innovative platform, StellarUp makes it easier for teachers to help their students reach their goals through the power of mentorship and community.
