Overview

Gooru is US-based deep-tech AI software that acts as a GPS for personalized learning, using learning data to personalise instruction for individual students. Its navigator maps competencies, identifies gaps, and routes learners along adaptive pathways, while giving educators visibility into progress. The platform is used by schools, districts, governments, and non-profits across multiple countries. An open, standards-based approach to learning content and competency mapping differentiates Gooru within the adaptive learning and public education technology category.

Why We Invested

Population-scale edtech is one of the hardest things to build, and Prasad brings a rare stack for it — Google-scale engineering, an educator's patience, and the humility to build in the open with school systems. That founder profile is why Gooru is now deployed to millions of learners globally. Gooru chose the harder path of open standards, research partnerships, and public-sector adoption long before AI made personalisation a headline. That decade of quiet infrastructure work is now compounding — and backing a founder who built the roads before the traffic is exactly our kind of bet.
