FoondaMate provides a WhatsApp- and Facebook-based learning chatbot that gives students immediate answers, access to revision papers, and guidance on responding to questions. The product targets high-school students in emerging markets where WhatsApp is widely used and is often cheaper or free to access. Educators can use the platform to set and post homework and share learning materials with students. Since launch it has been used by more than 400,000 students in over 10 languages across more than 30 countries, including Colombia, Mexico, Brazil and Indonesia. The team vets the bot’s information sources and monitors results to keep children safe on the platform. FoondaMate is working on localizing learning material to accommodate learners in more countries and aims to grow its platform to more than 50 million users. The recent funding is intended to fuel rapid global takeoff and faster adoption of the service.
