Sophia Technologies
Sophia is the UK’s first mobile app that takes the stress away from finding the educational support that children need. Founded by educational leaders, the EdTech startup plans to disrupt the sector by providing face-to-face, online tuition and workshops so that kids keep on learning. Sophia approached Drop for crowdfunding campaign support on Seedrs as they were planning to raise funds via the FCA approved platform. As a result, Sophia Technologies Seedrs crowdfunding campaign was a roaring success where they managed to raise £581,580 from 367 investors. Here is their Seedrs crowdfunding success story.
Sophia Technologies – The Brand
Sophia Technologies was founded and run by a team of educational leaders with decades of experience in the industry. Their innovative platform provides on-demand tuitions, private home tuitions (London only) and online tuitions in the U.K and is accessible worldwide through their native app. Sophia ensures that the tutors are recruited after stringent quality checks, thereby maintaining the highest standards. What makes their platform unique is that it allows users to book a session via the app as per the place and convenience.
Geared with positive testimonials and a 100% repeat booking rate, Sophia Technologies were seeking funding to disrupt the EduTech sector, which is estimated to grow by £105.9bn this year.
