Classtime secures financing for growth

SuperCharger Ventures is excited to announce the recent financing secured by Classtime, the Zurich-based EdTech company specialising in formative and summative assessments. Following initial seed funding, Classtime has successfully closed its Series A financing round, propelling the company into its next phase of growth.

With the support of Swiss Post Ventures, SuperCharger Ventures, private investors, and additional institutional partners, Classtime is poised to expand its presence and accelerate growth in the DACH and US markets. Co-CEO of Classtime, Jan Rihak, expresses enthusiasm about the expanded network and access to new markets resulting from the latest financing round.

Scaling and continued development

The Swiss EdTech company will now focus on scaling in the DACH markets, the UK, and the USA. The further development of the Classtime platform will use generative AI to free teachers from even more routine tasks and generate in-depth assessment and learning content. The core functions for assessments will be expanded.

‍"As before, we are using the resources extremely efficiently," says Jan Rihak.

And Co-CEO Valentin Ruest, responsible for the US market, adds: "Our goals are long-term. We are growing steadily in all markets. We listen. And we develop solutions that optimise educational processes and outcomes."

Empirical evidence of the impact of educational software

Classtime will also invest more in the creation of evidence-based standards with the Jacobs Foundation.

"We still need more empirical studies on the impact of educational software," says Jan Rihak. "This is where we want to lead and contribute to increasing the understanding of the verifiably effective use of technology in the classroom."
