Venture Capital News: Kangarootime Announces Seed Financing

2017-07-06
LOS ANGELES, CA, Kangarootime, a provider of cloud-based software for early learning centers, raised seed funding of an undisclosed amount.
Skyview Ventures LLC is excited to announce its investment in the Seed Round of Kangarootime. Kangarootime is a leading provider of cloud-based software solutions for early learning centers. The Kangarootime suite of products allows childcare centers and other educational centers to digitize their operations. The Kangarootime suite allows parents to check their children in and out of the center, pay tuition electronically, view and share photos, complete student paperwork and interact with teachers. The tool also helps childcare centers manage their compliance issues, improve staffing oversight, and increase and automate revenue and collections.

This investment in Kangarootime will go to help accelerate their growth into new school organizations in the United States and abroad. Skyview Ventures is investing alongside Mucker Capital and Tech Coast Angels in this round.

Skyview Ventures has relevant experience in the mobile, EdTech and cloud-based software segments through previous investments in NewPace, Headsprout, Mimio, LSSiData, and Syncplicity.

Scott Wayman, Kangarootime CEO, says, "We are very excited to have Skyview Ventures participate in this round. Skyview brings a lot of relevant financial, technical, and operating experience. We are building the first cloud-based enterprise-capable platform for early education, and having the operating expertise of Skyview behind us is an invaluable asset. Another appeal of teaming up with Skyview was that their team consists of real entrepreneurs. As we work with the large franchise businesses in early childhood education, having former operators like Skyview in our corner is a real asset."

Matt Thompson, Skyview Ventures LLC Senior Vice President says, "We are looking forward to partnering with Scott Wayman and the Kangarootime team. We first met Scott at the Founders Institute pitch session two years ago and have been impressed with his progress. Early education and day-camps are sectors ripe for digital disruption. As a parent, I am tired of all of the duplicative paper forms. We see Kangarootime both growing the market and taking share."

Chris Aye, Skyview Capital COO, says "We are excited to help Kangarootime on their journey. They have a great foundation and this additional capital will help them scale the business."
