What's your tagline / mission?

Because Every Educator Deserves to Bloom.

How did you start working on this idea?

Based on my own experience for 20 years in the early childhood industry.

What problem are you trying to solve and how big is it?

We're addressing the widespread lack of consistent, accessible training for early childhood educators, especially in Southeast Asia. Many educators enter the field with minimal preparation, leading to uneven quality and poor outcomes for children. With thousands of kindergartens and centers across the region, the need for affordable, scalable training is urgent and substantial.

What is your solution and how does it work?

Our solution is EduBloom, a platform offering practical micro-courses, toolkits, and AI-supported learning for early childhood educators and management. It delivers accessible, bite-sized training that educators can apply immediately, with options for schools to track progress and customize learning. We also offer value-adds like role-play simulations, instructor-led sessions, and job placement programs to support professional growth at every level.

What is your business model / how do you make money?

EduBloom uses a hybrid B2B and B2C subscription model. We sell annual training packages to kindergartens, early childhood centers, and international schools, while also offering affordable individual subscriptions for educators and parents. Additional revenue comes from upsells such as AI role-plays, instructor-led workshops, on-the-job training design, and train-and-place programs.

How did you go to market and start acquiring customers?

We started by partnering with a few kindergartens and early childhood centers to pilot our micro-courses, gathering feedback and building case studies. From there, we leveraged on my industry network, attended educator events, and used direct outreach to school leaders. We also launched a content-driven marketing approach, offering free resources and webinars to attract both institutions and individual educators.

How many customers and paid users do you have?

We are currently in the early launch phase, with a growing base of pilot schools and individual educators using our platform.
