AMentoria EducaĆ§Ć£o has raised $196K in seed funding to attack a stubborn gap in Brazilian education: the distance between teaching and actual learning. The round drew a long list of backers, including Triaxis Capital, Crescera Capital, FIP Nordeste Capital Semente, Insper Angels, Anjos do Brasil, WOW Aceleradora de Startups, Cristiano FaĆ© Vallejo and Adriano Silveira.
The company runs one-on-one mentoring that helps students organize their study time and materials - whether those come from a formal institution or free content online - alongside a content platform built on its own mock exams and study materials. AMentoria says it has more than 40 active medical-student mentors who have delivered over 25,000 mentoring sessions, and that its video content has drawn more than 290,000 views in two years.
