The company will use the capital to accelerate product development and expand into Brazil.\n\n## Caixa Capital and Impact Innovation Fund Lead Intuitivo Round\n\nThe round was led by [Caixa Capital](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00071y7/caixa-capital) and the Impact Innovation Fund, managed by 3xP Global under the Venture Capital Program of the Capitalization and Resilience Fund, known as FdCR, and managed by Banco Português de Fomento. Techstars, COREangels Lisboa, [COREangels Porto](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/002nm7q/coreangels-porto) and Angels Way also participated in the financing.\n\nIntuitivo plans to use the capital to strengthen its product suite and grow its team from 11 to 20 people by the end of 2026. The company provides a digital assessment platform that helps educators create, administer and grade tests while reducing administrative workloads.\n\nThe platform was developed in collaboration with teachers and supports multiple exercise types, including multiple choice, open responses, ordering, fill in the blank, tables, and true or false. Educators can add audio, video, musical notation, and scientific or mathematical formulas to assessments. Using artificial intelligence, the platform can generate draft tests based on topic, year group and difficulty, and it can convert existing PDF tests into interactive digital versions ready for automatic grading.\n\nIntuitivo reports that closed response exercises are graded instantly, while AI-supported grading for open responses is planned for the 2026/27 school year. Students access tests through a link without creating an account or installing software, and teachers can monitor progress in real time.\n\n## Intuitivo's Funding History and Platform Scale\n\nIntuitivo's earlier funding includes a 2021 seed round of approximately $120,780 from Demium Capital, a 2023 investment of approximately $120,000 through the Techstars accelerator program, and a 2024 round with COREangels Lisbon, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The same records list a 2026 pre-seed of $58,128 led by OW Ventures and total funding of $300,000.\n\n| Date | Round | Amount | Lead investor |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 2021-12 | Pre-seed | $120,780 | Demium Capital |\n| 2023-03 | Pre-seed | $120,000 | Techstars |\n| 2024-01 | Pre-seed | Not stated | COREangels Lisbon |\n| 2026-09 | Pre-seed | $58,128 | OW Ventures |\n\nIntuitivo has signed more than 200 contracts with municipalities, school clusters and private schools in Portugal, covering more than 500 schools and 75,000 registered teachers. During the 2025/26 school year, Portuguese students completed around 1 million assessments on the platform, which the company estimates saved roughly 165,000 hours of teachers' working time.\n\n## Coding Giants and Norrsken22 Raise Edtech Capital\n\nCoding Giants, a Warsaw-based coding education platform, secured up to €6 million in venture debt from Orbit Capital, [Vestbee](https://vestbee.com/insights/articles/coding-giants-secures-up-to-6-m-to) reported on October 14, 2026. The company, with over 130,000 students and $15 million in annual recurring revenue, plans to expand in the US and Mexico while strengthening Spain operations.\n\nNorrsken22, an Africa-focused growth equity fund, invests $2 million to $10 million per round, with a sweet spot of $6 million to $10 million, and has backed 19 companies including Yellow Card and Nala, [Techpoint](https://techpoint.africa/feature/how-norrsken22-invests-in-africa/) reported on October 13, 2026. The fund targets fintech, market enablement, medtech and edtech.\n\n## Intuitivo's Brazil Market Estimate\n\nWith the new funding, Intuitivo plans to accelerate its expansion into Brazil, where it estimates a potential market of 2.2 million teachers, roughly 12 times the size of the Portuguese market. The company already has a team on the ground and some Brazilian teachers using the platform.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
