Hello there ,

Sometime last year, I had the opportunity to work on an episode of Tech in Asia Explains, which was centered around edtech. It was a fascinating experience to dive into the world of edtech, exploring how technology can completely revolutionize the way we teach and learn. Edtech is certainly here to stay, and I’m keen on seeing how the industry will develop and transform in the years ahead.

However, for firms in the space to keep innovating, they need funding. Today, we’re taking a look at the investors that have backed education startups in Southeast Asia.
