Our take

Online "edu-tainment" materials are commonly used to supplement the education of children, often existing in the form of games and quizzes. Whilst these are useful for memorizing the answers to questions and assessing knowledge, their focus on multiple choice answers leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to explaining and understanding harder-to-grasp concepts.

Simpleclub offers a personalized educational app to supplement students’ education, with the aim of helping users understand school material quicker and pass exams with better grades. The application includes thousands of videos, animations, and in-depth explanations for all major study areas in addition to mock exams and analytics to identify areas of improvement.

The company's app stands out from other edutainment providers for its focus on providing a deeper understanding, as well as its approach that matches school syllabuses and mock exams over more casual learning. Following promising fundraising, Simpleclub is in a good place to maintain its momentum.
