Pressto is an EdTech startup based in New York and Halifax that provides a proprietary technology platform designed to make learning to write fun for kids. The SaaS platform’s tools teach educational skills alongside critical thinking and media literacy to help children differentiate fact from opinion and resist manipulation. Its offering includes a newspaper builder to get students doing, educational content to get students learning, and cognitive behavior therapy elements to aid understanding. Pressto’s primary focus is engaging with schools as a supplemental tool that fits any curriculum and can be implemented across subject areas. The platform is currently part of a pilot program with the New York Department of Education reaching over 30,000 students and is also available for parents and children to use outside the classroom. The company raised $1.5M in pre-seed funding to accelerate growth, expand operations and broaden its business reach.
