The promising EdTech startup ORDO, which develops digital solutions for preschool education, has successfully closed a Pre-Seed investment round. The company attracted $100,000 from the angel club CS Angels Club, and its market valuation reached $2 million.
The project is a participant in the Investment Readiness Accelerator (IRA) Tashkent 2.0 program, implemented with the participation of MOST C-Space Hub and SQB Ventures in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
ORDO's main product is the cloud-based ERP SaaS platform Ordo.education with an integrated AI assistant, designed to automate the management of preschool educational institutions.
The system allows kindergartens to digitize administrative processes, reduce paper workflow, improve communication with parents, and implement a unified approach to monitoring children's development.
According to the company, the problem of digitalization in the preschool sector in Central Asia remains relevant: a significant part of processes is still carried out manually, which creates an additional burden on staff and reduces the transparency of interaction between system participants.
To date, ORDO's solutions have already been implemented in more than 150 kindergartens in four countries in the region. The company will use the received investments to develop the technology platform, expand the team, and accelerate entry into new markets.
In the future, the startup plans to connect up to 10,000 preschool institutions and take the position of a key digital infrastructure solution for the preschool education sector in Central Asia.
