Yourway Learning, an AI-powered education startup, has secured $9 million in equity funding to advance its mission of creating trusted, educator-first technology for K–12 classrooms.
The funding round, supported by leading EdTech and growth-stage investors, follows a previous $6 million raise—bringing the company’s total funding to $15 million.
At its core, Yourway Learning is working to ensure AI in education isn’t about hype, but about impact: reducing teacher workloads, personalizing instruction, and making classrooms more equitable and engaging for students.
Key Takeaways
- 💡 $9M raised to expand Yourway Learning’s AI platform for K–12 classrooms
- 🏫 Educator-first approach focuses on reducing workloads and supporting equity in learning
- 🌍 Positive global impact: scalable, personalized learning that empowers both teachers and students
- 📈 Fall pilots open for districts ready to explore trusted AI in education
What the Funding Will Support
With this new round, Yourway plans to:
- Expand Yourway Spark, its real-time AI student environment, now in pilot programs across U.S. districts
- Deepen integrations with district systems for policy-aligned and efficient implementation
- Scale professional development and customer support to ensure measurable, classroom-level impact
Why This Matters
Teachers across the country face mounting pressures—rising class sizes, diverse student needs, limited resources, and complex policy demands. According to state pilot programs, over 53% of educators using Yourway’s platform reported reduced workloads and improved support for high-dosage tutoring.
With more than half of U.S. states advancing policies for responsible AI integration in schools, Yourway is positioning itself as a trusted partner for districts navigating the transition.
“Purposeful innovation—rooted in what helps teachers and students—is what separates Yourway from the crowd,” said Jerry Weissberg, CEO of Yourway Learning. “We’re committed to putting pedagogy before hype.”
How Yourway’s AI Works in the Classroom
Unlike generic AI tools, Yourway’s platform is designed specifically for educators and students. Key features include:
- ✏️ Streamlined lesson planning, grading, and communication to reduce teacher workload
- 🎯 Personalized learning at scale, guided by research-backed frameworks like the Learner Variability Navigator
- 🤝 Real-time instructional support that enhances, not replaces, the human connection between teacher and student
As Sasha Kovriga, Managing Partner at Greybull Stewardship, one of Yourway’s investors, explains: “Districts aren’t just checking the AI box—they want results that improve learning and engagement.”
The Bigger Picture: Education and Equity
The rise of AI in education has sparked global debate—will it truly empower teachers and students, or simply add another layer of complexity?
Yourway is making the case that with purpose-built, research-driven solutions, AI can be a force for equity and positive change.
- For students, it means more tailored learning pathways that adapt to their individual needs.
- For teachers, it offers relief from administrative burdens, freeing up time for deeper engagement with students.
- For districts and policymakers, it presents a pathway to responsibly integrate emerging technology while ensuring measurable outcomes.
By focusing on alignment with real-world classroom challenges, Yourway positions itself as more than a vendor—it aims to be a long-term strategic partner in shaping the future of education.
What’s Next
Yourway is currently inviting additional districts to apply for fall pilots and early access opportunities for Yourway Spark. As more schools look to integrate AI responsibly, the company’s approach—educator-first and equity-driven—signals a growing movement in the education sector.
