Martin Olczyk, Managing Director at Techstars, emphasized: “I decided to invest in Voovo because of the team’s remarkable ambition, coachability, and their mastery of execution. Benedek and his team are building something truly groundbreaking, solving a significant challenge in the edtech space by helping students learn faster. The combination of their data-driven approach and their proven ability to deliver at the highest level gives me great confidence in Voovo’s future success, and I’m very happy to be part of Voovo‘s journey.”

Imre Hild, CEO of Óbuda Univenture Capital, shared: "The participation of Óbuda University’s Venture Capital Fund underscores the value Voovo’s platform brings to the academic community. I’ve worked with over a thousand startups since 2009, and I’ve learned that success is all about the people. The Voovo team, led by Benedek Herman, stands out for their deep understanding of the problem, commitment to building a valuable product, and dedication to making a positive impact on their community. I’m excited to support them as they continue to grow.”

The recent investment will fuel Voovo's growth, allowing the company to enhance its platform with user feedback, strengthen integrations with school curriculums, and expand its reach in classrooms across Hungary and Europe.

Voovo’s CEO, Benedek Herman, commented on the significance of this milestone: “We believe that the most effective learning methods—active recall and spaced repetition—should be accessible to all students, not just top performers. Our vision has always been to democratize these methodologies, making them available to every learner, especially those who need the most support. With the help of this funding round, we can expand our solution on a larger scale and continue advancing towards our vision.”

The pre-seed money will be used to expedite Voovo's user acquisition strategy, with a particular emphasis on important educational markets in Central and Eastern Europe, in addition to enhancing product development. In order to give educators and schools even more value, the company also intends to increase the scope of its analytics and reporting capabilities.

With this solid support, Voovo will be in a good position to grow and improve its platform, enabling more students to take advantage of individualized learning opportunities and attain their academic potential. The company is still committed to growing its operations and improving its influence in schools across the globe, even as it gets ready for a bigger fundraising round early next year.
