Flint Raises $15M to Make Personalized Education Accessible Without Increasing Teacher Workload

"Traditional classroom instruction follows a one-size-fits-all model where teachers design lessons for the median student, leaving advanced learners unchallenged and struggling students without adequate support. This structural limitation has long prevented education from delivering on its promise of meeting each student where they are, forcing teachers to choose between personalized attention and covering required material. While AI promised to solve this personalization problem, early implementations often undermined learning by providing direct answers rather than fostering genuine understanding and critical thinking."

"Flint addresses these challenges by building an AI-native education platform designed from the ground up with educators, not retrofitted from existing tools. Through real-time student analytics, adaptive learning activities, and transparent AI interactions that teachers can monitor live, the platform enables personalized instruction across all subjects while reducing teacher workload rather than adding to it. Already powering 400,000+ users across hundreds of leading independent schools in the US and internationally,"

"Already powering 400,000+ users across hundreds of leading independent schools in the US and internationally, Flint recently partnered with Cognita to deploy its platform to 95,000 students across 110 schools, demonstrating scalable adoption that enhances traditional instruction without disrupting classroom dynamics. AlleyWatch sat down with Flint Cofounder and CEO Sohan Choudhury to learn more about the business, its future plans, recent funding round that brings total funding to $16.7M, and much, much more..."
