About CLASSUM

With a vision to spark the power of learning together, our goal is to bring learners and educators together in a space where they can communicate freely and comfortably. We want to create and expand spaces where healthy interactions and collaboration can take place naturally inside and outside the classroom. Learners can freely interact on CLASSUM, engaging in Q&A and discussions through text and other media that fit their communication needs in this digital age. Educators using CLASSUM to communicate with their students have experienced increased student engagement and reduced admin work.

This year, CLASSUM raised a $6M Series A led by Pearl Abyss Capital and Storm Ventures along with existing investors Big Basin Capital and Smilegate Investment. CLASSUM was selected as Forbes Asia 100 to Watch List in 2021 for CLASSUM’s innovative approach to communication challenges in education.

CLASSUM was also selected as one of GSV Cup back in 2020, which highlights inspiring EdTech and talent technology startups across six continents.
