Founded in 2020 by former United World College of Southeast Asia (UWCSEA) employees Aradhana Iyer-Vohra and Elaine Chew, Neobael enables STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) learning through its live, online, inquiry-led, and project-based collaborative platform.
The Singapore edtech startup said it was created without an office during the pandemic and works seamlessly across seven countries where its team members are based.
The company adds that its proprietary curriculum follows the standards of the Singapore Ministry of Education, the UK’s Key Stages, and the National Education Policy of India.
“With our global team of experienced educators and industry professionals we are looking at a market worth over US$6 billion. Our goal is to make this type of 21st century, skill-focused, active learning more accessible through technology,” CEO and co-founder Aradhana Iyer-Vohra said in a statement.
Neobael plans to use the capital raised through the pre-seed round to build awareness about its offerings in India and Singapore.
