AMentoria raises $196K seed round to expand education platform in Brazil

Brazilian edtech startup AMentoria has successfully raised $196,000 in seed funding to further expand its presence in the country's education sector. The investment round, led by Triaxis Capital and Crescera Capital, was facilitated by FIP Nordeste Capital Semente. Notable additional participants included Insper Angels, Anjos do Brasil, Cristiano Faé, Adriano Silveira, and existing investor WOW Aceleradora.

Established in 2019 in Natal, Brazil, AMentoria specializes in providing test preparation and individual mentoring services for students preparing for the ENEM (National Exam for Admissions to Higher Education) and university entrance exams, with a particular emphasis on medical school admissions. The company collaborates directly with students and also forms partnerships with schools to support their educational initiatives.

With the new funding, AMentoria plans to enhance its learning platform, strengthen its partnership network with schools, establish operations in São Paulo, and venture into other regions across Brazil. The company's monthly recurring revenue from school partnerships has already shown a significant increase, doubling in recent months.

Since its inception, AMentoria has made a substantial impact, having assisted over 1,000 students in gaining admission to medical schools and facilitating more than 40,000 individual mentoring sessions. The company's mission is to improve access to higher education and contribute to the development of future medical professionals in Brazil.
