Edusuite’s technology analyses data and resources of schools, helping administrators, faculty, and students optimise their resources and make smart decisions

Edusuite, an Artificial Intelligence-powered startup which “predicts administrative needs and make recommendations to school administrators”, has secured PHP12 million (over US$235,000) in fresh funding from seasoned investors from the Manila Angel Investors Network (MAIN).

Two of Edusuite’s clients Batangas Eastern Colleges (BEC) and Sumulong College of Arts and Sciences, also co-invested.

Edusuite was co-founded by Niel Dagondon (CEO) and Calen Legaspi (CTO). Dagondon is a serial entrepreneur with an exit to his name. Legaspi has previously co-founded Orange and Bronze Software Labs, a technology consulting firm.

Edusuite provides an AI-powered school management system. Its technology analyses data and resources of schools, helping administrators, faculty, and students optimise their resources and make smart decisions.

Its technology can predict administrative needs and make recommendations to school administrators. For example, it can predict the demand for each subject a college will offer in the following school term, so that the school can open the exact number of sections and hire the right number of faculty, which helps improve the profitability of the school.

Launched commercially last year, the product already has seven schools in its client portfolio, including Ateneo High School and CIIT College.

The company has previously raised a round of funding from Department of Science and Technology (DOST).

“I invested in Edusuite because I saw that the company solves real problems for schools, especially in increasing revenue. I did not see others in this space doing so,” said Jay Chan from MAIN.

“It’s aligned with our school’s thrust of blending education with technology to be globally competitive,” says Euneil Castillo, School Administrator of BEC. “Edusuite can match the needs of a growing institution like ours, so we saw us growing together with many mutual opportunities.”
