About GREDU

Based in Jakarta, GREDU is an educational technology company founded in 2016 by Mohammad Rizky Anies, Arya Budi Nugraha, Ricky Putra, and Mohammad Fachri. The company aims to enhance the Indonesian education system by providing a digital platform that improves communication and engagement among schools, teachers, students, and parents. The platform was developed to solve the inefficiencies of using multiple, often disorganized, communication channels like WhatsApp for school-related matters.

GREDU operates as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider for the K-12 education market, with plans to expand into preschool and university programs. Its business model is based on subscriptions, offering schools various packages, including a premium option for a custom-branded platform. The company provides a centralized management system that digitizes school administration and learning processes. This system features four main applications tailored to different user groups: Gredu School Management for administrators, Gredu Teacher for educators, Gredu Parent for guardians, and Gredu Student for learners. These tools facilitate real-time tracking of academic progress, attendance, and school activities, and support administrative tasks like managing enrollment and payments.

The company's offerings are designed to streamline school operations and enrich the learning experience. For teachers, the platform reduces administrative workload by automating tasks like monitoring attendance and creating exams. Students can use their app to view scores, check attendance records, and access online classes, which proved crucial during the COVID-19 pandemic. Parents are able to monitor their children's development and stay informed about school activities. Since its launch, GREDU has partnered with over 400 schools, reaching a user base of more than 400,000. The company secured an undisclosed amount in a pre-seed Series A funding round in January 2020, followed by a $4 million Series A round in July 2021, led by Intudo Ventures with participation from Vertex Ventures. This capital is being used for product development, team expansion, and market expansion beyond the Greater Jakarta Region.
