The proprietary technology uses data to track each student’s progress, provide real-time insights on learning gaps, and help teachers adjust instruction and monitor student progress. The company partners with global education brands and research institutions and collaborates with Ministries and Departments of Education as well as individual school districts. Knowledgehook currently empowers educators across more than 100,000 schools. The company intends to use the funds from the recent round to expand operations and broaden its business reach.

Its software is used by teachers across North America and is deployed in more than 75% of Ontario school boards and over 300 U.S. school districts. In 2016 the platform generated more than 6,000 recommendations to help teachers close students' learning gaps.
