Features

History

Knowre was founded in 2008 in the Gangnam district of Seoul, South Korea, as an offshoot of a private math academy.[2]

In January 2013, the company received a $1.4 million investment from SoftBank Ventures Korea.[3][2] A month later, KnowRe launched an open beta of its platform in the United States and now markets its product directly to K-12 schools.[2]

In August 2013, Knowre launched a nationwide pilot program across 34 cities and 17 states in the United States and Canada.[4] The launch included product updates such as a new Pre-Algebra curriculum, a Teacher’s Dashboard available exclusively to pilot schools,[5] and gamified features like quests and achievement systems.[2]

Awards and recognition

In 2012, Knowre was awarded the grand prize at Global K-Startup, a competition sponsored by Google, the Korean Internet & Security Agency, and the Korea Communications Commission.[6] Knowre was called one of four “South Korean Startups to Watch.”[7]

In May 2013, Knowre won first place in the GapApp Challenge sponsored by the New York City Department of Education.[8]

In 2014, Knowre opened its headquarters in New York and launched an app version for the United States.[9]
