EduSync, a Korean edtech startup specializing in real-time screen synchronization technology, has closed a seed investment round from New Paradigm Investment.

South Korea’s edtech market has grown to an estimated approximately $6.9 billion USD(10 trillion KRW), driven in part by government initiatives to expand smart education infrastructure — including interactive whiteboards and student tablets — across public schools. Yet despite this hardware push, classrooms have lacked the dedicated software needed to tie these devices together and support genuinely interactive lessons. That gap is what EduSync is built to close.

The company developed a real-time collaborative learning platform called KlassMate, which connects interactive whiteboards, teacher PCs, and student tablets into a unified classroom environment. Powered by low-latency messaging technology, KlassMate synchronizes handwriting and shared content in milliseconds even when large numbers of students are participating simultaneously. The platform runs entirely in-browser — no installation required — and connects via a six-digit code, keeping the experience simple enough for everyday classroom use.

EduSync has also taken a deliberate approach to distribution. Rather than selling directly into schools, the company is embedding KlassMate as pre-installed software through OEM agreements with educational device manufacturers. The model cuts out marketing overhead while accelerating adoption inside the public school system, and positions KlassMate as a potential standard solution across classrooms.

Looking ahead, EduSync plans to layer in an “AI Classroom Copilot” feature — drawing on accumulated learning data to automate lesson planning and assessment — and transition toward a SaaS revenue model. The ambition is to evolve from a collaboration tool into a platform that actively improves teaching quality.

“We plan to build on our proven model in the public education market and expand into private tutoring and global markets,” CEO Gawon Kwon said in a statement. “Our goal is to grow into a platform that simultaneously bridges the education gap and transforms the learning experience.”

New Paradigm Investment echoed that confidence. “EduSync has both the technology and the market timing to translate hardware-led digitalization into genuine classroom innovation,” co-CEO Jehyun Park said. “We expect the company to establish a strong competitive position not just in Korea but in global education markets, backed by its cost competitiveness and technically mature product.”

Meanwhile, New Paradigm Investment is currently accepting applications through April for its 2026 Baby Unicorn Growth Program. The scale-up initiative targets promising startups in AI, B2B SaaS, and deep tech sectors that are within four and a half years of founding, offering up to approximately $3.5 million USD (KRW 5 billion) per team in investment and growth funding, with TIPS referrals and follow-on investment support built into the program.
