↑ 0%Kiwi edtech founders Hengjie Wang and Alliv Sampson, who started Kami 12 years ago, have launched a fund to invest in local startups. Kami, valued at $300 million after a US investor acquired a majority stake, recently acquired British company Book Creator, expanding its user base to 70 million worldwide.
Kami said the acquisition will allow it to integrate Book Creator's offerings into Kami's existing platform and provide users with additional features.
New Zealand-based educational tech company Kami is acquiring UK platform Book Creator for an undisclosed amount. The deal, announced on September 17, is not expected to encounter any UK regulatory issues, according to Kami's CEO Hengjie Wang. This acquisition follows a significant investment in Kami by US-based Boston Ventures Investment Partners, which became the majority shareholder a year ago.
A second hot education startup falls under US control.
Kami, a leading classroom engagement and teacher productivity platform, announced a significant strategic investment from BV Investment Partners, valuing Kami at over $175 million. This investment will accelerate Kami's growth, deepen its US focus, and expand globally. Kami will continue operating from Auckland, New Zealand, and open a Boston office. All four founders will remain in the business. BV's expertise will help Kami enhance its impact and value in the edtech space.
