Adservio has over 14 years of experience in the Education Technology market. Currently, the platform supports over 1.000 schools in their digital transformation journey, through innovation of educational and management processes, offering a modern tool to help educators and students.
“This round of financing helps us in taking the next step to scale up our business: going abroad. We founded Adservio when the global EdTech market was still in its early days. Since then, we focused on meeting the digitization needs of local schools in Romania. We have contributed to the launch of a pilot program through which the Romanian Ministry of Education recognized the exclusive use of the digital grade book, a measure that gives us hope for a faster transformation of digitization in schools. EdTech technologies have gained momentum during the Covid-19 pandemic, and it was the same for us: we integrated new technologies and developed new modules, together with school managers, teachers, parents and students”, said Alexandru Holicov, founder of Adservio.
The investment will support the expansion on the local and international market, the expansion of the portfolio of clients and partners and the development of new features.
“I have rarely met founders as driven as Alex and young EdTech companies that have demonstrated impact in solving a real need for teachers, students, and parents as Adservio. With access to broadband and with a higher technology penetration in the educational system, the majority of students are now very comfortable with online learning platforms. As a result, we believe that, in the future, any technology that can be combined with in-person education will become more appealing to students, because it will enable them to assimilate knowledge more effectively. Catalyst Romania is committed to helping Adservio scale up and become the most relevant tech solution to support the learning and teaching processes, not only in the Romanian educational ecosystem but also internationally”, said Alin Stanciu, Partner at Catalyst Romania.
The pandemic period accelerated the digitization of the education system. Fourteen years ago, the Adservio digital grade book was used in several schools in Iasi, and before the closure of schools, the platform was used in about 200 schools. Currently, Adservio is the most popular and most complex learning platform in Romania (besides the free platforms), with more than 750 000 monthly active users.
The adservio.education platform is available in nine languages and has web and mobile versions. One of the key differentiators are the state-of-the-art security measures and data protection.
