Funding round led by Inflection Point Ventures; Jeroen Tas and SplashLearn Co-founder and CEO Arpit Jain also participate as investors. The platform claims to have reached over 100,000 students.
K-12 EdTech startup Qweebi has raised $500,000 (approximately ₹4.7 crore) in funding to promote STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and robotics-based practical learning. The funding round was led by Inflection Point Ventures (IPV), with participation from Jeroen Tas, former Co-founder of Mphasis and Arpit Jain, Co-founder and CEO of SplashLearn.
The company plans to use the capital to further enhance its digital learning platform and expand its presence across schools in the United States.
According to the company, the funds raised will be used to strengthen product development and expand the platform’s reach across various school districts in the US. Qweebi aims to provide students with opportunities to learn engineering, robotics and practical STEM skills through digital learning.
Learn Engineering and Robotics Without Physical Kits
Founded by Vivek Sitaraman, Aman Bansal and Abhishek Awana, Qweebi is a browser-based online makerspace platform. It enables students to design, build and test engineering and robotics projects without requiring physical kits or specialised laboratory infrastructure.
The platform offers a library of ready-to-use projects, lesson plans and teacher guides. These resources help teachers reduce the time spent sourcing materials and preparing projects for practical classroom activities. According to the company’s official website, the platform is primarily designed for students from Grades 3 to 8.
Reaches Schools Across All 50 US States
At the time of announcing the funding, the company stated that more than 5,200 schools across all 50 US states had signed up for the Qweebi platform with over 100,000 students having used it. According to the company, its reach among schools and teachers has grown largely through organic adoption.
Through this funding, Qweebi plans to further develop its digital STEM learning solutions and increase their adoption across schools in the US. The company’s objective is to make practical education accessible to more schools and students at a lower cost.
Company Focuses on Learning Through Experience
Vivek Sitaraman, CEO and Co-founder of Qweebi, said that simply reading about a subject or watching others perform an activity is not enough to master it; students need to learn by doing it themselves. According to him, schools are now moving beyond textbooks and videos towards experiential learning, but challenges related to costs and resources make it difficult for teachers to implement such projects at scale.
He added that Qweebi is working to reduce these barriers and make hands-on learning simpler and more accessible, enabling more students to gain opportunities to learn through practical experience.
