Educents operates an online marketplace connecting parents, teachers, and homeschooling families with creators, authors, and small publishers of educational resources. It offers tools, curricula, and interactive materials across subjects and learning styles.
Educents raises a Series A round in December 2015 for its discounted educational materials marketplace. The round brings the company's total funding to approximately $15 million across two rounds.
Educents and FarFaria partnered on Children's Book Day to raise funds for the Oakland Public Library's Cesar E. Chavez branch. The collaboration directs part of each FarFaria-Educents purchase toward Spanish-language reading materials for the branch, supporting children's literacy through the local library.
Educents raises $2.9 million in seed funding to grow its discounted educational materials marketplace for teachers and homeschoolers. Co-founder Kate Whiting has prior experience as an educational consultant for Pearson and McGraw-Hill, while co-founder Kaitlyn Trabucco brings operations experience to the company.
