Twilio For Education Data, Clever, Lands $3M From Kevin Rose, Mike Maples & Ashton Kutcher, Now In 2K Schools
Clever, a graduate of Y Combinator's most recent batch of startups, launched in late June to bring a bit of Twilio's vision to education. During their time at Y Combinator, the accelerator's co-founder Paul Graham challenged the team to integrate with 40 schools by the end of the program. Clever far-surpassed that goal, announcing this morning that over 2,000 K-12 schools have now adopted its technology since June.And this dramatic growth has not gone unnoticed by investors. The startup is also today that it has raised $3 million in seed funding from an impressive list of venture capital firms and angels, including SV Angel, Mike Maples of Floodgate, SoftTech VC's Jeff Clavier, Google Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, Mitch Kapor, Ben Parr and Ashton Kutcher.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/_arqamNdrcg/
