Klassroom caters specifically to educator needs while offering the level of engagement and ease-of-use found in the most widely used online social platforms.
Fremont, CA: Klassroom, a Paris-based startup that reinvents parent-teacher communication in pre-kindergarten and all elementary school grades, raised $3 million in seed round led by Bpifrance and several angel investors including Jerome Lecat, CEO at Scality, and Andy Myers, President at Waterford.org and former executive at Renaissance Learning.
The new capital will allow Klassroom to accelerate growth in countries outside of France, including in the U.S. where more than 700 educators started using the app during the last school year without any significant investment in that market. Klassroom is already the leading app of its type in France, with nearly one million users. Its user community doubled in just under two months during school closures and the COVID-19 crisis.

Klassroom provides a platform for remote learning, video-conferencing, and homework management in an intuitive format for parents and educators. Teachers can create a new class in just minutes, and they invite parents to access posts in the class feed, including announcements, homework, videos, pictures of activities, polls, events, documents, and more.
Klassroom's level of parent engagement is also outstanding. Parents can react to posts, contact the teacher for appointments, or initiate private conversations using tools designed to strengthen parent-teacher relationships while protecting the teacher's time. It can translate all posts and private messages between parents and teachers into 100 different languages, and Klassroom can also accommodate the visually impaired. Every parent or guardian can be involved across multiple households.
"We are grateful for the support of our investors, and we appreciate the dedication of our employees and educator ambassadors in helping us get to this exciting inflection point for Klassroom," said Frank-David Cohen, Klassroom co-founder, and CEO. "Communication between parents and teachers is key for children's academic and social-emotional growth during the early years, and this is especially true when COVID-19 or other factors cause interruptions to the in-school routine. Impactful communication always will be the 'center of gravity' of our app."
