KnowRe, a New York, NY-based education technology company developing an online adaptive learning service for mathematics, closed a $1.4m funding round with SoftBank Ventures Korea.
The company intends to use the capital to continue developing proprietary content and technology.
Co-founded by YJ Kim, CEO, and David Joo, COO, KnowRe develops an online adaptive learning service for mathematics. It can assess an individual’s strengths and weaknesses, personalize a curriculum for each student’s focus areas and engage students through game-like features, graphics and social learning.
The company plans to launch their open beta service in the US during the first quarter of 2013.
