Our mission
Tablets and smartphones are changing the way we learn. They are intuitive and have the ability to eliminate the barriers between school and home, work and personal life, play and study. At eduPad, our mission is to provide the best educational apps compatible with most mobiles devices. Today, more than 2,000,000 students use our applications from Elementary to Middle School.
We also develop a cross-platform solution that enables anyone with great educational content, such as publishers, teachers and organizations, to easily publish e-learning apps without going through lengthy and expensive technology development.
eduPad was founded in 2010 by Jérôme Serre and Daniel Jasmin, two entrepreneurs and senior innovation and strategy consultants. eduPad successively raised 600K€ from ExploLab Factory, a French Internet incubator, and several business angels.
