"Mobile devices and tablets are transforming global education and Explain Everything is at the forefront. The strong traction that the company has generated along with the reception from students and teachers is a testament to the speed and scale of this transformation. We believe that Explain Everything holds great potential as it expands in the K-12 education system, especially across North America, Europe, and Australia," said Jan Habermann, Partner at Credo Ventures.

"We're seeing significant demand for our interactive screencasting whiteboard app in classrooms, schools, and beyond," says Explain Everything CEO Bartosz Gonczarek.
