Our take
Packback provides a suite of AI-enabled products to help students build skills such as critical thinking and researching. Its approach is backed by research on motivation and learning, and is built on the idea of students having the autonomy to ask and answer the questions that interest them.
Packback stands out for its targeting of known pain-points in other online educational programs. For example, its use of AI feedback means that students receive immediate and personalized feedback as they write, so they don't have to get something wrong in order to learn.
This approach has been well-received by educators and parents alike, and has seen the company raise significant funding over the years. The latest round, invested by a leading growth equity firm, will support Packback's continued expansion as sets out to meet rising demand for better online education resources.
