    Participated · Equity · Jan 2020

    TeachKloud is a cloud-based, browser-accessible platform that enables early-childhood educators to manage their business, comply with regulations (TUSLA, DES & Pobal), and communicate with parents. Founded in 2016 and based in Cork, Ireland, the company targets childcare providers where teachers spend over two hours per day on administrative tasks. The product aims to reduce paperwork so educators can focus on curriculum development and individualized learning. TeachKloud announced a €750K raise to accelerate growth and hire additional full-time engineering resources in Cork. The company plans to use the funds to expand into the UK and US markets. Backers include Frontline Ventures, the AIB Discovery Fund, Enterprise Ireland, Folens, and EdTech investor Sean Tai.
