Flint, an AI-powered education platform focused on enabling personalized learning at scale, has announced that it has raised a $15 million Series A round, co-led by Basis Set Ventures and Patron. The round included participation from USC Viterbi, AME Cloud Ventures, and education leaders such as Blackboard founder Matt Pittinsky, with follow-on support from Afore Capital and Y Combinator. The new funding represents a key step in Flint’s effort to expand access to personalized, transparent and equitable AI-driven learning across classrooms worldwide.
The company currently serves hundreds of independent schools in the United States and international markets, supporting over 400,000 users and more than 150,000 AI-powered learning activities. The new capital will accelerate product development and enable Flint to scale to millions of students within the next year.
Flint’s platform enables teachers to work side by side with AI to create dynamic and individualized learning experiences without increasing their instructional workload. Educators can design lessons, generate classroom activities, and evaluate student understanding with real-time insight and visibility into how AI is being used. Students can also develop their own activities based on personal interests and learning needs, using Flint as an adaptive tutor that adjusts to their pace, strengths, and challenges.
The platform integrates AI-native learning into everyday classroom practice, from writing support and brainstorming exercises to lab simulations and language learning. Flint aims to create a continuous and curiosity-driven learning environment supported by a network where educators exchange best practices and students collaborate, allowing the platform itself to evolve through usage.
Flint recently entered into a partnership with Cognita, one of the world’s largest K-12 school organizations, to deploy Flint to 95,000 students across 110 schools. The integration demonstrated the platform’s ability to adapt to existing classroom structures while improving instructional support. Early feedback indicates Flint helps reduce teacher preparation time and strengthens individualized student engagement.
Founded in 2023, Flint continues to expand its reach across schools in the U.S. and globally, offering educators a streamlined way to deliver adaptive, AI-based instruction that meets students where they are.
KEY QUOTES:
“Education has always promised to meet students where they are. But in practice, that’s been out of reach for most classrooms. Our vision is to make that a reality, so that every teacher has a partner who understands their classroom, and every student gets word-class education built just for them. Flint makes lessons interactive, dynamic and individualized, without teachers having to work extra hours.”
Sohan Choudhury, Co-Founder and CEO of Flint
“My kid’s school uses Flint – they love it, and so do we. The founders are the kind of rare mix you don’t often see: absolute geniuses and very technical, who are also deeply mission-driven. We’re thrilled to back them as they build something every student, parent and teacher deserves.”
Dr. Lan Xuezhao, Founder and Partner at Basis Set Ventures
“Flint is proving that when you build the right product for the right moment, adoption follows. As a father of two elementary school daughters, I’m especially excited about Flint’s vision of creating truly AI-native learning experiences. This isn’t about replacing teachers – it’s about giving them the tools to reach every student at their level, in their way. The early traction speaks for itself, and we believe Flint is building the foundation for how the next generation will learn.”
