K-12 Online Tutoring Platform ‘Braintrust Tutors’ Raises $2.5M in Seed Round

-

Braintrust Tutors, the most comprehensive high-dosage, evidence-based tutoring platform for K-12 students, has recently announced that it has 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. The new fundraising will fuel the company’s rapid growth further, enabling it to 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 the 1-in-5 who have learning differences, the 2-in-3 who lack proficiency with reading and math, and others who are grappling with pandemic-related learning loss.

Speaking about the capital raised, Co-founder & CBO of Braintrust Tutors, Jen Mendelsohn, said:

We are thrilled to have access to such a formidable list of high-profile investors, each with a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of scaling disruptive technology businesses. Their guidance and support will be invaluable in propelling us to new heights.

Braintrust Tutors personalized learning programs are strategically designed in close collaboration with each partner to accelerate learning for every student, delivered by expertly trained, certified teachers and learning specialists. Its mission is to close the achievement gap that has plagued schools for decades and only worsened due to interruptions.

The startup has partnered with schools and districts nationwide to create high-impact tutoring interventions that greatly accelerate academic outcomes for vulnerable students. The firm has garnered significant nationwide demand for its Braintrust Reading Program©, an innovative approach to teaching the most vulnerable students how to read. Combining a meticulously crafted curriculum based on decades of research and the science of reading with intensely creative, gamified lesson plans and a robust technology platform, the Braintrust Reading Program© makes it dramatically more accessible and more engaging for teachers to teach and students to learn.

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 see a generational opportunity for Braintrust to substantially close equity gaps for the millions of at-risk students who struggle to achieve proficiency with foundational reading and math skills.
