Education startup Imagi has raised $4.5 million in seed funding to develop its coding and AI literacy platform for school students, TechCrunch reported.
Brighteye Ventures and Day One Capital led the round. The company says the deal brings its total funding to $5.5 million.
Imagi builds curricula and digital tools for schools. It says its products are used by more than 700,000 students in 140 countries and over 100 US school districts.
Co-founder and CEO Dora Palfi said prompts and responses in the platform’s AI tools are screened before students see them. Its data-protection and child-service compliance claims are company statements rather than independent findings.
The funding is intended to support expansion in US schools, teacher training, new product features and integrations with additional AI tools. The company also expects to introduce an updated platform next month.
