Pearl, a Richmond, VA-based research backed, all-in-one tutor management platform, raised over $4M in seed funding.
The round was led by Blu Venture Investors with participation from Fidi Ventures, among others.
The company intends to use the funds for talent development and expansion, new data and reporting engines and to improve the engagement experience for educators and their partners.
Led by John Failla, Founder and CEO, Pearl develops software for tutoring at scale. Its integrated classroom and administrative tools allow enterprise tutoring companies, academic organizations, districts and states to launch and scale hybrid tutoring programs. Additionally, in collaboration with the Annenberg Institute at Brown University and its National Student Support Accelerator, the company collects and protects the necessary data to prove efficacy to ensure all students thrive.
The company partners with enterprise tutoring providers, districts and state agencies to launch, scale, and run hybrid tutoring programs, while also assuring quality of impact.
Pearl’s partner-first features for districts, states and enterprise tutoring solution providers include individual profiles for administrators, tutors, students, parents, and teachers. Additional features include scheduling, document sharing, an integrated 1:1 and small group virtual classrooms, and a post-session reporting. Importantly, the system also provides participants and users with evidence and data so interventions can improve tutoring quality and sustainability. Finally, Pearl can provide all required reporting on usage and efficacy, freeing teachers and districts to teach instead of report.
