In our EdTech market deck, we help you understand how the market is structured
How has funding activity in the EdTech market changed over time?
Q1 2025 was the most active quarter with $514 million raised across 16 deals, driven by AMBOSS's massive $260 million round which alone accounted for half of that quarter's total.
Q3 2025 was the quietest quarter with only 2 deals, though Lingokids's $120 million Series D kept the total amount respectable at $134 million.
Q4 2025 saw EdTech funding drop 19% compared to Q3 2025, and it fell 68% compared to Q4 2024 one year earlier when Eruditus and SchooLinks closed large rounds.
When you exclude the top 1-2 mega-deals from each quarter, the EdTech market shows a more stable pattern of smaller investments. The median deal size across all quarters sits around $10-15 million, suggesting most EdTech companies are raising modest growth rounds rather than blockbuster financing.
| Quarter | Number of Deals | Total Raised ($) | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q4 2024 | 4 | $345M | Strong quarter anchored by Eruditus ($150M) and SchooLinks ($80M) mega-rounds |
| Q1 2025 | 16 | $514M | Peak quarter with AMBOSS ($260M) and diverse AI-focused EdTech deals |
| Q2 2025 | 9 | $201M | Steady activity led by VuMedi ($80M) in healthcare education |
| Q3 2025 | 2 | $134M | Quiet quarter with Lingokids ($120M) dominating deal flow |
| Q4 2025 | 10 | $109M | More deals but smaller sizes, no rounds above $50M |
| All Quarters | 41 | $1,303M | EdTech market shows early recovery with AI as the defining investment theme |

Is the EdTech market shifting toward smaller or bigger deals?
The average EdTech funding deal size across all five quarters was $31.8 million, though this number is heavily influenced by a handful of mega-rounds from healthcare and executive education platforms.
Looking quarter by quarter, the average EdTech deal size ranged from $86.3 million in Q4 2024 down to just $10.9 million in Q4 2025. This sharp decline reflects a market where investors grew more cautious and fewer companies could command large checks.
If you exclude the top 2 deals from each quarter, the typical EdTech round falls between $5-15 million, suggesting most education technology startups are raising modest Series A and B rounds rather than growth-stage mega-financing.
| Quarter | Number of Deals | Avg. Deal Size ($) | Deals Below $2M | Deals Above $50M |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q4 2024 | 4 | $86.3M | 0 | 3 |
| Q1 2025 | 16 | $32.1M | 2 | 3 |
| Q2 2025 | 9 | $22.4M | 0 | 1 |
| Q3 2025 | 2 | $67.0M | 0 | 1 |
| Q4 2025 | 10 | $10.9M | 3 | 0 |
| All Quarters | 41 | $31.8M | 5 | 8 |

How concentrated was funding activity in the EdTech market?
EdTech funding was highly concentrated, with the top deal in each quarter capturing between 37% and 90% of that quarter's total. Q3 2025 showed the most extreme concentration when Lingokids alone represented 90% of all capital raised.
Looking at the top 3 deals each quarter, concentration ranged from 67% to 100% of total funding. This pattern suggests the EdTech market has become a winner-take-most environment where a small number of proven platforms attract the lion's share of investor capital.
| Quarter | Number of Deals | % by Top 1 | % by Top 3 | % by Top 10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q4 2024 | 4 | 43.5% | 89.3% | 100% |
| Q1 2025 | 16 | 50.6% | 72.2% | 96.8% |
| Q2 2025 | 9 | 39.7% | 66.5% | 100% |
| Q3 2025 | 2 | 89.6% | 100% | 100% |
| Q4 2025 | 10 | 36.7% | 69.8% | 100% |

Which categories in the EdTech market received the most funding?
Healthcare education captured $354 million (27% of total EdTech funding) across 4 deals, led by AMBOSS's $260 million mega-round. Medical learning platforms offer defensible unit economics because healthcare professionals pay premium prices and face regulatory barriers that limit competition.
Professional and executive education raised $254 million (20% of total) across 5 deals, anchored by Eruditus's $150 million Series F. This category benefits from corporate buyers with larger budgets and more predictable sales cycles than consumer-facing EdTech.
AI-powered K-12 tools attracted $152 million (12% of total) across 6 deals, with MagicSchool AI leading at $45 million. Teacher productivity tools finally broke through as a viable EdTech category with viral, teacher-first distribution strategies.
| Category | Number of Deals | Total Raised ($) | Startups and Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Healthcare Education | 4 | $354M | AMBOSS ($260M), VuMedi ($80M), Virohan ($7.5M), Bethink ($6.4M) |
| Professional/Executive Education | 5 | $254M | Eruditus ($150M), Leap ($65M), Campus ($46M), HowNow ($4.4M), 7taps ($0.75M) |
| AI-Powered K-12 Tools | 6 | $152M | MagicSchool AI ($45M), Knowunity ($29M), ULA ($28M), SchoolAI ($25M), Brisk Teaching ($15M), SigIQ.ai ($9.5M) |
