Qweebi Raises $500K to Bring Virtual Robotics Education to K-12 Schools

More than 5,200 US schools adopted the platform organically, making it one of the fastest grass-roots expansions in K-12 EdTech.

Singapore-based EdTech startup Qweebi has raised $500,000 in seed funding to expand its browser-based STEM and robotics learning platform across US schools. The round was led by Inflection Point Ventures (IPV), with participation from Jeroen Tas, former Co-founder of Mphasis and ex-Chief Innovation & Strategy Officer at Philips, and Arpit Jain, Co-founder & CEO of SplashLearn. The funds will be directed toward product development and district-level adoption in the United States.

Qweebi lets K-12 students design, build, and test engineering and robotics projects entirely within a web browser, with no physical kits or hardware required. Virtual prototypes behave like real-world counterparts, circuits respond, motors actuate, sensors read, while eliminating the setup and cleanup that typically consumes most of a 45-minute class period. Teachers can choose from a library of ready-to-run projects with lesson plans and guides, cutting prep time from several hours to under 30 minutes.

The startup’s early growth is largely what attracted investor attention. Over 5,200 schools across all 50 U.S. states, roughly 4% of K-12 schools nationwide, have signed up organically, driven by teacher-to-teacher recommendations on social media, with no paid acquisition. The platform currently serves more than 100,000 students.

Qweebi was founded by CEO Vivek Seetharaman, a second-time entrepreneur who previously co-founded virtual interior design platform Doowup, later acquired by Sequoia-backed HomeLane.com, where he served as CTO and CPO. He is joined by CBO Aman Bansal, a Doowup founding member who scaled a HomeLane business unit from $1M to $10M in annual revenue, and Chief Design Officer Abhishek Avana, formerly of LiveLikeVR, where he designed immersive 3D environments for broadcasters including BBC and Fox Sports.

As AI and robotics reshape the workforce, the pressure on schools to deliver meaningful hands-on STEM education has grown sharply, even as physical kits remain expensive and difficult to manage at scale. Qweebi’s virtual approach is a direct response to that gap, and the company sees global expansion as a longer-term opportunity for any school with an internet connection.
