Chalkie.ai has secured £1m in pre-seed funding from TriplePoint Ventures to accelerate its growth following a period of bootstrapping.
The edtech platform, which was founded in July 2024, has seen over 500,000 lessons generated by more than 100,000 teachers worldwide, saving an estimated 3m hours of planning time.
The fresh capital will be deployed to support the company's ongoing expansion as it addresses teacher workload issues.
From the founder
"For years we’ve seen teachers struggle to cope with the increasing demands outside of the classroom. With Chalkie teachers can fight back against the crippling work burden they are under and focus on what truly matters; teaching. Our AI augments teachers to help them build lessons faster whilst maintaining quality and control"

Investor perspective
"With family members who are teachers, I’ve seen first-hand how much time lesson preparation takes, often eating into evenings and weekends. Chalkie completely changes that. The customer love is obvious, the improvement over the manual process is dramatic, and the growth and retention metrics are among the best I’ve ever seen. Mark, Phil and Pete combine deep empathy for teachers with the ability to build products that teachers truly love."
