In a statement on Tuesday, Gredu said that the funding round was led by Intudo Ventures and early investor Vertex Ventures, and that it would also use the fund to recruit new talents and develop personalized products for students and school administrative staff.

Established in 2016, the company has partnered with more than 400 primary and secondary schools and has more than 400,000 users to date.
Rizky added that the company was developing new products for preschools and universities as well as more interactive features for its existing products, such as through gamification, or applying gaming principles and elements in a nongame context.
The Gredu application offers four main features: a school management system for school administrators, a learning management system (LMS) for teachers, a monitoring feature for parents and an self-monitoring portal for student attendance and grades.
