Teachy raises $7M Series A to advance AI education for teachers in Latin America and Asia

Teachy, a Brazil-based AI-powered education platform, has raised $7 million in a Series A funding round led by Goodwater Capital and Reach Capital. The funding is one of the first AI-focused investments in the “Global South,” including Latin America, Asia, and Africa. 

Other participants in the round include Endeavor, NXTP, and Roble Ventures. This marks the largest investment by Goodwater and Reach Capital in Brazil’s education sector.

Coddy Johnson, Partner at Goodwater Capital, highlighted Teachy’s potential impact, “Teachy is a revolutionary platform for teachers and students in personalized learning. And we believe Teachy could be transformational for educational outcomes around the world.”

The Teachy platform provides teachers with an AI-powered workspace designed to simplify tasks such as lesson planning and grading. Its tools are aligned with local curriculums and aim to address challenges like digital connectivity, helping schools in regions such as Latin America and Asia adapt to the growing role of AI in education.

Founded in 2022 by Pedro Siciliano, a former teacher and Stanford MBA graduate, and Fábio Baldissera, an engineer and entrepreneur, Teachy has grown to support over 1 million teachers across Latin America and Asia. Globally, the platform reports over 10 million students in over 170 countries.

Esteban Sosnik, Partner at Reach Capital, emphasized the platform’s focus on developing regions, “We see a unique opportunity in Teachy to change the lives of teachers across Latin America and beyond. We’re excited that Teachy builds specifically for the developing world, with features like paper grading and college entrance exam prep at its core.”
