Insights
- The EdTech market raised $993.94 million across 62 rounds, but the five largest deals supplied about half of all disclosed funding.
- Q3 2025 had only ten EdTech deals, yet Lingokids and EdSights generated 77.4% of the quarter’s funding.
- Q1 2026 depended heavily on Preply. The $150 million round represented 70.6% of all EdTech funding that quarter.
- Q4 2025 was the broadest quarter. Sixteen EdTech companies raised capital, and no single round exceeded $20 million.
- Only five disclosed investors appeared in more than one deal, which shows that repeat sector-wide investor activity remained limited.
- School learning platforms recorded the most deals, while tutoring and online learning attracted a similar amount of capital through fewer large companies.
- AI appeared across lesson planning, tutoring, grading, study tools, and course creation, but distribution still mattered more than AI alone.
- Large EdTech rounds usually went to companies with tutor marketplaces, university contracts, school distribution, or direct links to workforce outcomes.
- Q2 2026 raised 51.2% less than Q1 2026 and 63.4% less than Q2 2025, mainly because the quarter had only four disclosed deals.
- After removing the largest one or two rounds from each quarter, EdTech funding shows a softer and less consistent underlying market.

Is the EdTech market shifting toward smaller or bigger deals?
The average EdTech funding round was $16.03 million across the five quarters.
The quarterly average ranged from $8.51 million in Q4 2025 to $25.93 million in Q2 2026. The average changed mainly because a few large EdTech rounds lifted small quarterly samples.
Without the largest outliers, the EdTech market would show smaller and more stable deal sizes, with most companies raising below $20 million.
| Quarter | Number of deals | Average deal size ($) | Deals below $2M | Deals above $50M |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q2 2025 | 21 | $13.48M | 7 | 1 |
| Q3 2025 | 10 | $25.85M | 2 | 2 |
| Q4 2025 | 16 | $8.51M | 3 | 0 |
| Q1 2026 | 11 | $19.32M | 4 | 1 |

EdTech funding was highly concentrated in Q1 2026 and Q2 2026, when Preply and Multiverse represented most of the capital. Q4 2025 was more balanced because its largest deal represented only 14.7%.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q2 2025 | 21 | 28.3% | 56.5% | 90.9% |
