Brisk Teaching, an innovative leader in AI-driven educational technology, has successfully completed a $5 million Seed funding round, bringing its total funding to $6.9 million. This significant investment, led by Owl Ventures with participation from South Park Commons, Springbank Collective, Coherence Fund, and Coalition Operators, will support the company’s expansion efforts, product development, and international outreach.
In conjunction with the funding announcement, Brisk Teaching unveiled its latest offering, Brisk Boost, a tool designed to function as a personalized tutor for students. Brisk Boost adapts to individual learning styles while providing teachers with insightful analytics on student progress. This innovative product allows educators to transform existing content—such as online textbooks, YouTube videos, and slide presentations—into engaging and interactive activities, offering students immediate assistance and adaptive quizzes to enhance their learning experience.
With an impressive user base of over 500,000 educators in the U.S., Brisk Teaching has quickly established itself as a frontrunner in K-12 education technology. The platform has saved educators over 10 million hours, streamlining the burdensome workload that often leads to burnout. In an era where teachers juggle more than 140 applications annually, Brisk’s Chrome extension seamlessly integrates with existing educational tools, alleviating the routine pressures of grading and lesson planning.
“Educators are asked to do too much with too little. At Brisk, we’re committed to making the profession sustainable by automating the 20 hours of digital work that teachers do each week—without compromising quality,” stated Arman Jaffer, Founder and CEO of Brisk Teaching. “This funding will help us scale our new student-facing tool, Boost. Teachers will be able to offer their students personalized activities essential for differentiated learning, which would otherwise be too time-consuming to manage daily.”
Brisk’s transformative approach has garnered positive feedback from educators like Kelly Ann Seaman, who remarked, “Brisk is the gift that keeps on giving to my classroom. I have used it almost every day since I downloaded the extension… It has allowed me to give such quality feedback to my students in seconds!”
As educational institutions increasingly recognize the potential of AI, tools like Brisk Boost pave the way for more personalized and effective learning environments. With its focus on easing the administrative burden on teachers, Brisk Teaching not only enhances classroom engagement but also empowers educators to focus on what they do best—teaching.
In our view, Brisk Teaching is poised for significant impact in the educational sector. The integration of AI into the classroom is no longer just a trend; it’s a necessity in creating efficient learning experiences. By facilitating tailored instruction and freeing up valuable time for teachers, Brisk is leading the charge toward a more sustainable and effective educational landscape. The future looks bright as Brisk continues to innovate and expand its offerings, ensuring that both educators and students can thrive in an increasingly complex digital world. briskteaching.com.
