TEAMology, a University Park, PA-based company which specializes in K-8 social-emotional support solutions, raised $1.2M in seed funding.
The round was led by C 414 with additional participation from Supes’ Fund, White Rose Ventures, 1855 VC, and Product 10X.
The company intends to use the funds to accelerate its growth, both in TEAMtalk product marketing development, and talent expansion within the K-8 Edtech space and the team’s ability to execute its vision.
Led by CEO and Founder Linsey Covert, TEAMology emerged from Penn State University’s Invent Penn State commercialization ecosystem in 2016 to develop a personalized solution to meet students’ social, emotional, and mental health needs. Its TEAMtalk – an AI + human technology provides kids with an opportunity to directly connect and be supported by the six TEAMology characters that grow with them.
Partnerships such as Penn State and the public media company WQED, home of “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” are helping to expand the work of the company.
Commenting on the news, Linsey Covert said: “This investment not only validates our business model but also empowers us to advance our mission of providing access to quality social, emotional, and mental health support for our K-8 students. We are committed to leveraging these funds to drive innovation and deliver unparalleled value to our users. The education world needs the unwavering support of trusted partners to support all students and staff at a time where mental health and wellness should be a priority for effective learning.”
