imagi, an edtech company providing safe AI learning platforms for K-12 education, raised $4.5 million in seed funding led by Brighteye Ventures and DayOne Capital, with participation from FemInvest, We Are Human, and investors from OpenAI, Lovable, ElevenLabs, Spotify, Morgan Stanley, and others. The funding will support expansion across US schools, platform development, teacher training, and team growth.
Scaling Safe AI Learning
Operating in more than 100 US school districts and serving over 700,000 students across 140 countries, imagi delivers supervised AI tools integrated into structured classroom lessons through partnerships with OpenAI and Lovable. The platform helps educators introduce AI safely while teaching students to build apps and projects using AI technologies.
“Today's schoolchildren are the first generation who will never know a world without AI. This means AI education won’t just be the new ICT, but the new literacy. But unlike reading schemes, AI is not designed with children in mind. This means we need safe, tested AI education for children, with guardrails trusted by educators and parents. AI is accelerating faster than any technology before, which is why we cannot bury our heads in the sand, and ignore the need to introduce children to AI in a responsible way. Working already with Lovable and OpenAI, we’ve engaged hundreds of thousands of young people, and with our latest funding and ever-growing roster of partners, we hope to give millions more access to safe frontier AI tools.” — Dora Palfi, Co-founder and CEO of imagi
Growing Classroom Adoption
imagi reported 30x year-over-year user growth and tripled annual recurring revenue while expanding partnerships with school districts across the US. The investment will accelerate integration of additional AI tools, strengthen compliance and research, and expand teacher support programs.
