Jurassic Welcomes ChalkTalk to Portfolio

Today, we’re excited to announce our investment in ChalkTalk, a leading EdTech SaaS company. Named one of the “World's Top EdTech Companies of 2024” by TIME and Statistica, ChalkTalk is revolutionizing K-12 education with its AI-powered personalized digital courseware SaaS platform.

ChalkTalk powers ELA & Math K-12 classes across some of the largest districts in the nation, yielding remarkable learning outcomes in less time, while providing administrators with real-time insights into student performance and growth. ChalkTalk takes student diagnostic test scores and the school schedule as inputs and outputs a daily lesson plan for every school day— including whole-group instructional materials, real-time small group activities, and adaptive digital content & practice for independent student work. Acting as the ultimate teacher's assistant, ChalkTalk bridges content and learning, showcasing technology as a catalyst for human connection in education.

Led by Mo Arbaji, Founder & CEO, and Eddie Vaisman, COO—visionary leaders with proven track records of operational success and a passion for education—ChalkTalk has rapidly gained recognition for its proven results with students, leading adoption & engagement rates with educators, and commitment to personalized learning experiences. ChalkTalk’s vision was inspired by Mo's education-embedded journey, both personally and professionally, notably launching his first education company in college, which he bootstrapped to a successful franchise across three countries, and publishing 4 textbooks. Growing 13x in ARR over the last 3 years and securing partnerships with major U.S. school districts, including top districts in Florida, Tennessee, and a stronghold in the Southeast, ChalkTalk remains dedicated to transforming education.

We were introduced to Mo & Eddie through our friends at Florida Funders in Tampa earlier this year and were immediately captivated (as pictured above). We continue to be impressed by their performance, strong metrics grounded in capital-efficiency, and the team’s strength and passion, coupled with their deep ties to the Southeast and alignment with Jurassic's operating philosophies. Our investment is a testament to our belief in the transformative power of innovative SaaS solutions in the education sector. We’re excited to be invested alongside ECMC and Florida Funders and proud to partner with ChalkTalk on their scaling journey and mission to revolutionize education.

"We are thrilled to be working with the folks at Jurassic Capital! The team brings extensive experience from having operated, scaled, and sold B2B software companies, offering relevant experience. Jurassic leverages a rich network of advisors and experts who are deeply knowledgeable about the tech ecosystem, particularly in the Southeast US—where ChalkTalk has substantial market leadership—providing invaluable insights and support. We’ve got great cohesion with the team and are thrilled to have them as part of our journey of building the world’s most impactful and most valuable learning technology company" - Mohannad Arbaji, Founder & CEO of ChalkTalk. 

Here's to ChalkTalk paving the way towards a brighter future in education.

Cheers!
