Is it so hard to concentrate in class? Pear Deck getting A round of financing wants to use tools to solve this problem

Many of the products that entered the classroom went with one goal: To replace the old PPT, to make the teaching content richer, Pear Deck, who received a $4 million Series A round of financing some time ago, had the same idea.

According to Edsurge, a foreign educational and scientific media, Pear Deck's investor in this round was invested by old shareholders (such as Village Capital, Hyde Park Venture Partners, AOL co-founder Steve Case), and Pear Deck's total financing reached US$5.2 million. A round of funds will help Pear Deck improve the product and expand the team.

Pear Deck's product form is somewhat similar to the combined version of classroom lessons, rain lessons, and speed lessons that we once introduced. The main function is to make teaching courseware more interactive. Before class, the system will automatically send an invitation code, students can enter the invitation code into the classroom on any type of device on the mobile phone, tablet and PC. The entire class process is controlled by the teacher, students can watch from their own devices at any time Share, ask questions, or answer questions anonymously. At this point, Pear Deck is very different from general classroom interactive products. Most products can only count multiple-choice questions, but on Pear Deck, students' answers can be presented in text and drawings.

Currently, Pear Deck has integrated product features into the Google Classroom and G Suite suites so that students can log in directly using a Google account. In addition, Pear Deck's file function can realize the mutual transmission of files between teachers and students, realizing the sharing of high-quality content in real time.

The birth of Pear Deck is closely related to the experiences of the two founders: They have many years of teaching experience and are very knowledgeable about what the teacher needs most in class. One of the chief education officials, Michal Eynon-Lynch, said that he found that many students had difficulty concentrating in the classroom, so he first experimented with 15 students on this product. After discovering that the actual results were good, the product was developed on a large scale. Prior to this, Lynch and the two founders founded Haiku Learning, an online score-book product.

The basic functions of Pear Deck can be used free of charge. The free function is mainly to help teachers create courseware and share courseware, but the creation of classroom problems, real-time interaction and personalized job placement and other functions require payment. The current pricing is based on different units such as individuals, groups and schools. The annual fee of 99.99, 449.95, and 1499 dollars is charged separately.

Anthony Showalter, co-founder of Pear Deck, said that their products are concentrated in the K12 field and currently cover 13 countries and 40 U.S. states with annual revenue growth of 3 times. In the United States, Pear Deck's closest product is Nearpod, which recently acquired $21 million in Series B financing.

Not long ago, the investor in the Bay Area of ​​the Innovation Workshop had introduced at the sharing meeting that the size of the Chinese education market was 3 trillion, while the size of the United States was more than twice that of China, reaching 7 trillion, of which K12 accounted for To 800 billion or so, the next largest scale of vocational education and early childhood education in China, the market size in the United States are about 700 billion. However, unlike the domestic situation, school procurement accounts for a large part of the market (approximately 1/3). The state government and the federal government conduct two fixed purchases each year, making companies such as Pear Deck enormous. Living space.
