Bengaluru-headquartered education start-up Curiositi Learning Solutions, which provides mathematics and science programmes for classes 1 to 10, has raised an undisclosed Series A round from Menterra Social Impact Fund and existing investor Unitus Seed Fund. Unitus had made a seed investment in December 2014.
Curiositi, according to Manoj Thandassery, co-founder, has a mix of activity-based learning kits and personalised software that can be downloaded on laptops or mobile phones.
It will use the money to improve product features and strengthen its sales and marketing functions.
Curiositi interacts with schools and brings them on board, with the schools indicating how many student users each of them will have.
The venture earns its income on a per-user basis. It has over 20,000 users in about 100 schools in Karnataka and Maharashtra now and plans to increase it to about a lakh students in 500 schools over the next two years, according to Thandassery. The venture deals in CBSE, ICSE and State board curricula.
