K-12 SaaS platform GoGuardian raises $200 million from Tiger Global, valuing at over $1 billion
GoGuardian, a classroom management platform, announced a $200 million strategic investment from Tiger Global Management, valuing it at over $1 billion.
Founded in 2014, GoGuardian provides Chromebook management software that protects students online and gives educators better control over how their technology is used. The company now has five core products: GoGuardian Admin, GoGuardian Teacher, GoGuardian Fleet, GoGuardian Beacon, and GoGuardian DNS.
GoGuardian Beacon helps teachers identify students who are at risk of suicide or possible harm to others through threats, violence, and bullying. GoGuardian Fleet offers Chromebook management tools.
According to a statement Thursday, over the past year, GoGuardian’s customer base grew 60% to over 10,000 schools, including 23 of the top 25 largest U.S. districts. Over 22 million K-12 students in the U.S. now benefit from GoGuardian technology.
Since 2020, the company has acquired Pear Deck and Edulastic. It recently appointed former Qualtrics and Microsoft executive Julie Larson-Green to the company’s board of directors.
The investment from Tiger Global will support further growth with additional capitalization for product innovation, talent acquisition, and business development.
