Education technology startup Twin raised £1.25 million in investment. The company’s £1.25 million investment round was led by Soulmates Ventures, with participation from APY Ventures. The company announced that it will use the new investment to develop its educational tools and improve its AI solutions. It is worth recalling that Twin raised $1.5 million via Seedrs in December 2020.

Founded in 2017 by volunteers of Young Guru Academy, Twin is positioned as an education technology startup focused on STEM education—science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The company helps teachers deliver these subjects effectively and engagingly by offering physical education kits, gamified digital applications, and ready-made lesson plans. Twin aims to increase children’s interest in science and technology and develop their skills in these areas.

Twin has provided education to more than 1.5 million students across 4,000 primary schools in 40 countries. The company aims to bridge the gap between technology and education through its “double-winged education” approach and to deliver education aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

This approach not only enables students to acquire knowledge but also gives them the opportunity to relate this knowledge to real-world problems. Twin Science & Robotics develops its educational materials in collaboration with leading institutions such as University College London and Imperial College London.

Twin aims to ensure that every child has access to quality STEM education. This approach promotes equality by increasing educational opportunities, especially for children in disadvantaged regions.
