Overview

Kiddom offers a two-part enterprise product: a platform that integrates schools' disparate platforms to track student utilization and achievement, and a digital curriculum aligned with Common Core standards. The company prioritized adoption for years before building its enterprise monetization layer and invested heavily in R&D to develop that product. Founded in 2012, Kiddom says at least one teacher uses its product in 70% of U.S. schools, a metric steady since 2018. The startup reports rapid ARR expansion—new ARR grew 2,525% in its first year of monetization, and ARR growth was on track to be 300% from 2020 to 2021. Kiddom faces long vendor-approval processes for curriculum sales and competition risk if legacy curriculum providers accelerate digitization. Its product-market fit with teachers and districts underpins the company’s recent shift to monetization and enterprise sales. Kiddom is a K-12 content management and collaborative learning platform that lets teachers add students, assign content, and assess each student. Students can view assignments, due dates, grades and receive feedback from teachers. The company plans to use the new capital to launch and expand Kiddom Academy for schools and districts. Kiddom Academy is a collaborative teaching and learning platform that helps schools and districts personalize learning. Founded in 2015 and led by CEO Ahsan Rizvi, the company is based in San Francisco and New York City. Following the Series B, Kiddom has raised $21.5m in total funding to date. Kiddom offers a centralized, visual collaborative system for K-12 classrooms that enables teachers to discover content, assess student work, analyze performance, and allow students to stay organized and receive timely feedback. The company launched Kiddom 2.0, adding more than 50 features including personalized planning, performance reports, student ownership tools, customization, and collaboration capabilities. Kiddom is available free for teachers and students on the web and iOS. The product has seen rapid organic adoption across hundreds of thousands of classrooms, growing over 30% month-over-month in 2016 and 2017 and achieving average teacher adoption of 95% within six months at many schools. Kiddom plans to use new capital to build additional products and features to accelerate its vision of building an operating system for K-12 education. The company headquarters are in San Francisco and it also maintains an office in New York City.
