Zen Educate, founded in 2017 and headquartered in the United Kingdom, is revolutionizing the educational staffing landscape through their digital platform. As a Certified B Corp, Zen Educate not only focuses on helping schools connect with high-quality educators but also aligns with social and environmental standards.
The platform matches a wide range of educational professionals—including teachers, teaching assistants, and substitute teachers—with schools across the UK and the US. By leveraging smart matching technology, Zen Educate reduces traditional agency fees by half, allowing for higher educator earnings and school savings. With over 13,000 educators and 2,000+ schools utilizing the system monthly, the platform achieves a match success rate exceeding 97% for substitute requests.
Supported by a recent $17.62M Series B investment led by Round2 Capital, Zen Educate has strategically expanded through acquisitions of Opus Education, Aquinas Education, and AK Education. The company stands as a pioneering entity in the EdTech space, offering a cost-effective, efficient, and socially responsible solution for educational staffing.
