SUMMARY

  • Norwegian EdTech and AI startup WeWillWrite is expanding rapidly in the U.S. and has raised €2 million in growth funding to make writing social, playful, and a core skill for the AI era.

The round was led by Skyfall Ventures and Spintop Ventures, with existing angel investors including Johan Brand and Jamie Brooker (co-founders of Kahoot!), Aurora Klæboe Berg, Gaute Godager, Fredrik Schjold, and Alexander Lund also increasing their stakes.

“Everyone is building better AI rockets – we’re building the platform that teaches the next generation to become rocket pilots,” says Daniel Senn, founder of WeWillWrite.

Within the 2025 European EdTech landscape, WeWillWrite’s €2 million growth round reflects ongoing investor interest in AI-driven learning solutions.

Recent activity includes Danish startup Alice raising €4.2 million for its personalised-learning and social study platform, Paris-based PyxiScience securing €2 million to scale its AI-powered math tools and Zurich’s Evulpo collecting €9.3 million to enhance digital classroom content. German peers Knowunity and EDURINO raised €27 million and €17 million, respectively, for AI tutoring and playful early-learning solutions.

While smaller than these rounds, WeWillWrite’s raise is typical for early-growth funding in specialised niches such as writing and peer feedback. Notably, it is one of the few Norwegian EdTech ventures attracting European investor attention in 2025. Its focus on social, process-based writing aligns with a broader trend: leveraging AI not to replace teachers, but to enhance creativity, engagement, and learning outcomes in the classroom.

“It has always been a challenge to get students to enjoy writing. WeWillWrite did this magically! It would be sorely missed if we lost access!” says Darby Hiebert, a 7th-grade teacher.

Founded in 2019 WeWillWrite offers a process-oriented AI platform for writing instruction, enabling students to write short texts and provide peer feedback. The platform is already used by millions of students and over 100,000 teachers across U.S. elementary and middle schools.

Addressing a critical challenge in education students are writing less and with less confidence the company highlights that 73% of U.S. students struggle with writing. WeWillWrite aims to reverse this trend by helping students express themselves clearly, critically, and creatively, while teaching them to use AI as a supportive tool rather than a replacement.

“WeWillWrite has cracked one of the toughest codes in education: they’ve found a way to get young people to write together, learn deeply, and experience genuine mastery. It’s rare to see technology create this much meaning and energy in a classroom. Daniel and the team are building something that will leave a mark, and it feels both important and inspiring to be part of this journey,” says angel investor Johan Brand, co-founder of Kahoot!.

The platform makes writing social and engaging, allowing students to create short texts, give peer feedback, and learn collaboratively. It features a unique real-time feedback system and an ever-growing library of interactive prompts, helping students build confidence and develop mastery in writing through a fun participatory experience.

“WeWillWrite was founded by exceptional serial entrepreneurs with deep product and domain expertise, solving an urgent problem for a new generation. The company has already established a strong foothold in the world’s largest market and is experiencing explosive growth,” says Preben Songe-Møller, co-founder and partner at Skyfall Ventures.

Since launching in the U.S. and Canada in March 2025, WeWillWrite has quickly gained traction with millions of students and tens of thousands of teachers using the platform regularly, particularly in elementary and middle schools.

“The founding team’s extensive experience combining pedagogy and technology is evident in how they’ve managed to stand out in the U.S. market. With my own background in scaling EdTech companies in the U.S., I look for exactly this kind of network effect within teacher communities – the kind WeWillWrite has successfully created,” says Helen Agering, Partner at Spintop Ventures.

The company’s next step is to strengthen its team in Norway while expanding into key U.S. regions, paving the way for a global launch in 2026–27.

“In this phase, it’s been crucial for us to bring on investors who understand our strategy and can give us critical expertise, while also matching our culture and pace. With Skyfall and Spintop, we’ve found exactly that,” says Senn.

He adds: “We’re proud of the trust shown by two of the most experienced investors in the Nordics, which confirms that we’ve hit a global need. We’re at the beginning of something big: a movement of teachers proving just how transformative the joy of writing can be in a classroom. We’re now looking for passionate colleagues who want to help us bring this movement to classrooms worldwide.”
