EdTech provider EdenFiftyOne has announced a strategic partnership and investment from fellow educational technology firm, MathsWatch, following a £250,000 pre-seed equity raise.
The investment secures a 13% stake for MathsWatch and is designed to scale EdenFiftyOne’s footprint and accelerate its AI-driven product roadmap, specifically focusing on literacy support across the UK and beyond.
Both companies were founded by former teachers who developed technology to deliver equitable and inclusive access to core skills.
“The alignment here is exceptional; it’s a true partnership of educationalists,” said Tom Reynolds, CEO and founder of EdenFiftyOne.
“MathsWatch understands our focus on democratising education through fair pricing and practical tools. This capital injection is not simply funding; it’s a strategic endorsement that allows us to rapidly expand our national presence and deliver our cutting-edge AI-Powered Literacy Skills Assistant to schools that need it most.
“We’re building the platform that teachers, leaders and learners need and deserve – because the best EdTech is teacher-led-tech.”
The firms are looking to secure partnerships with 100 additional UK schools and education providers over the next 12 months – focusing on secondary schools, academies and FE colleges.
They are also looking to fast-track the development of EFO, described as a ‘Literacy Skills Assistant’ – an AI-powered tool for learners and educators which aims to drastically reduce administrative burdens and allow teachers to refocus on high-impact, passion-driven instruction.
Hamid Rami and Emma Hayward, co-founders at MathsWatch, commented: “Our due diligence confirmed that EdenFiftyOne is the most mission-aligned partner in the literacy space.
“Investing in EdenFiftyOne allows us to extend our influence beyond numeracy with a company that shares our deep-seated belief in building EdTech that genuinely empowers teachers.
“This deal is about combining shared values to secure market growth and deliver measurable educational impact.”
