## About

Founded in 2022 and based in Massachusetts, US, EdLight, PBC operates as a software platform that engages in online collaborative learning and gathers student feedback. The company was founded by its CEO, Teryn Thomas. In March 2024, EdLight, PBC raised USD 4 million in seed funding from Backstage Capital and the Charter School Growth Fund.

The company provides a platform, Edlight, which is designed to provide educators with the tools they need to capture, analyze, and provide feedback on a wide range of student assignments. The firm's platform helps teachers to digitize and evaluate actual student work, whether it was completed in the classroom or at home, such as handwritten essays, arithmetic problems, or art projects. Edlight enables teachers to use standard-based student portfolios to track students' progress over time, providing an improved understanding of each student's strengths and areas for improvement. The company also allows educators to tailor their feedback to meet the needs of each individual student, from drawing directly on images of student work to adding audio recordings and text boxes.

The startup generates revenue through its pricing plans, which include the teacher plan for USD 12 per month and the school/district plan for customized pricing.

The organization plans to use the March 2024 funding to further develop its digital education platform.
