SiglQ.ai, an AI-powered edtech startup has raised $9.5 million in a seed funding round co-led by The House Fund and GSV Ventures, with additional backing from Duolingo, General Catalyst India (Venture Highway), Peak XV Partners, Calibrate Ventures, and notable angel investors such as Andy Konwinski (Perplexity co-founder), Christian Storm, Trevor Darrell, Jitendra Malik, Srini Devadas, and Sharad Malik.
Launched in 2023 by Karttikeya Mangalam and Kurt Keutzer, SiglQ.ai is on a mission to democratize personalized education at scale through cutting-edge AI. The recent funding will fuel the company’s next phase of growth by enabling top-tier talent acquisition, enhancing its proprietary AI technologies, and expanding platform deployment across global educational ecosystems.
Emerging from 18 months of stealth development, SiglQ.ai has unveiled two flagship products—PadhAI and EverTutor.ai—which are already gaining traction in the higher education segments of the U.S. and India.
One of its standout achievements: PadhAI Tutor reportedly outperformed over 1.3 million candidates in the UPSC 2024 Civil Service Exam, ranking #1 nationwide, and surpassing AI competitors like ChatGPT and Claude. The platform has since gained popularity, with over 200,000 UPSC aspirants in India actively using it.
Meanwhile, EverTutor.ai, tailored for GRE preparation, has attracted 10,000+ users within three months of launch, positioning itself as a go-to tool for standardized test preparation.
SiglQ.ai is now focused on expanding EverTutor’s reach for the upcoming spring and fall GRE exam cycles, while also preparing to showcase both tools at the prestigious ASU+GSV Summit—a key platform for education innovation.
