How has funding activity in the EdTech market changed over time?
Q1 2025 was the most active quarter for EdTech funding by a wide margin, primarily because AMBOSS alone raised $260M, which accounted for more than half of the quarter's total $513M.
Q3 2025 was the least active quarter by deal count, with only 2 disclosed EdTech funding rounds, though both were meaningful in size.
Compared to Q4 2025, EdTech fundraising in Q1 2026 rose by roughly 75%, and compared to Q1 2025 (one year prior), Q1 2026 is down about 55%, largely because Q1 2025 included the exceptional AMBOSS round.
If you strip out the single largest deal each quarter, the underlying EdTech market looks more stable: base-level activity ranged roughly from $90M to $130M per quarter, suggesting a consistent floor of healthy mid-market EdTech investment throughout this period.
| Quarter | Number of deals | Total raised ($) | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 2025 | 16 | $513M | Dominated by AMBOSS's $260M round; strong deal volume across healthcare and AI tools. |
| Q2 2025 | 9 | $201M | Solid activity led by VuMedi's $80M raise; workforce and tutoring categories drove most deals. |
| Q3 2025 | 2 | $134M | Very low deal count but Lingokids' $120M round kept total funding elevated. |
| Q4 2025 | 14 | $132M | High deal volume but no mega-round; most deals were below $20M, reflecting a more cautious market. |
| Q1 2026 | 8 | $231M | Preply's $150M Series D drove most of the quarter's total; early-stage deals also returned. |
| All quarters | 49 | $1,211M | Highly concentrated market: top deals skew quarterly totals significantly. |

In our EdTech market deck, we answer all the common questions from investors and entrepreneurs
Is the EdTech market shifting toward smaller or bigger deals?
Across all 49 EdTech funding deals in this dataset, the average deal size is roughly $24.7M, but that number is heavily pulled up by a few outlier rounds like AMBOSS, Preply, and Lingokids.
Breaking it down by quarter, the average EdTech deal size ranged from $9.4M in Q4 2025 to $67M in Q3 2025, mostly because Q3 was just two deals with one giant raise, while Q4 had 14 deals with no mega-round to inflate the average.
If you exclude the single largest EdTech deal per quarter, the average deal size across the remaining rounds stays fairly consistently in the $8M to $15M range, suggesting that the mid-market is stable but not growing fast.
| Quarter | Number of deals | Average deal size ($) | Deals below $2M | Deals above $50M |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 2025 | 16 | $32.1M | 2 | 2 |
| Q2 2025 | 9 | $22.4M | 0 | 1 |
| Q3 2025 | 2 | $67.0M | 0 | 1 |
| Q4 2025 | 14 | $9.4M | 4 | 0 |
| Q1 2026 | 8 | $28.9M | 1 | 1 |
| All quarters | 49 | $24.7M | 7 | 5 |
In our EdTech market deck, we help you understand how the market is structured
How concentrated was funding activity in the EdTech market?
EdTech funding is remarkably concentrated: in every single quarter tracked, the top 3 deals captured at least 57% of total EdTech funding raised, which means the vast majority of capital went to a very small number of companies. In Q3 2025, just 2 EdTech deals accounted for 100% of disclosed funding, making it the most concentrated quarter by far.
This pattern is consistent across all 5 quarters, and it tells a clear story: in the EdTech market, being a scaled platform with a proven model is what unlocks large checks, while early-stage EdTech startups are raising relatively small amounts even when they do get funded.
| Quarter | Number of deals | % by Top 1 | % by Top 3 | % by Top 10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 2025 | 16 | 50.7% | 72.3% | 96.1% |
| Q2 2025 | 9 | 39.7% | 66.6% | 100.0% |
| Q3 2025 | 2 | 89.6% | 100.0% | 100.0% |
| Q4 2025 | 14 | 30.3% | 57.6% | 94.9% |
| Q1 2026 | 8 | 65.0% | 90.1% | 100.0% |
| All quarters | 49 | ~43% | ~72% | ~97% |

Which categories in the EdTech market received the most funding?
Healthcare education captured the most EdTech funding of any category at $353.9M across just 4 deals (29% of total), largely because AMBOSS and VuMedi are both at the intersection of learning and high-stakes clinical work where professionals pay for quality and outcomes are measurable.
AI-powered K-12 tools raised $176.7M across 8 deals, the broadest category by deal count, reflecting a genuine wave of new investment into classroom AI products for teachers and students alike.
Online tutoring raised $173.4M across 4 deals, driven heavily by Preply's $150M Series D, which signals investor confidence that marketplace-plus-AI tutoring models can reach meaningful global scale.
| Category name | Number of deals | Total raised ($) | Startups and amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Healthcare education | 4 | $353.9M | AMBOSS ($260M), VuMedi ($80M), Virohan ($7.5M), Bethink ($6.4M) |
