Edtech startup StayQrious raises $2M in seed spherical

Bengaluru-primarily based edtech startup StayQrious on Tuesday introduced that it has raised $2 million in seed investment spherical led with the aid of using a number of the main early-level traders. These consists of Learnstart, the devoted seed fund of Learn Capital and different worldwide traders which include Draper Associates, Y Combinator, Nitin Sharma (First Principles VC), Lavni Ventures, and Dream Incubator (Japan).

According to the agency statement, the startup will often use the sparkling price range to construct the product, train tools, and educational content material a good way to allow its ‘lecture room of the future’.

Speaking approximately the muse at the back of the agency, Aanand Srinivas, Founder and CEO, said,

“When I was in the US, I saw that while I could solve a physics problem faster than anyone else out there, no one had ever prepared me in my life for a question like, ‘If you had $15 million dollars and two years of time, what ambitious problem will you work on?.’ That’s when I realised our education system trains us from a young age just to be obedient executors of other people’s ideas, not to come up with our own original ideas. I started StayQrious with the vision of using school subjects as a means to teach our next generation the skills and attitudes that will make them ambitious innovators rather than obedient executors.”

Commenting at the investment, Nitin Sharma, angel investor, First Principles VC, added,

“I believe StayQrious’s unique approach to social learning will provide students (and parents) the best experience in strengthening STEM foundations.”
