EdTech Startup ORDO Raises US$100,000 for Kindergarten Digitalization

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — ORDO, a promising EdTech startup specializing in digital solutions for preschool education, has successfully closed a pre-seed investment round.

The project, which participates in the Investment Readiness Accelerator (IRA) Tashkent 2.0 program, raised US$100,000 in funding from the CS Angels Club. Following this transaction, the market valuation of the company reached US$2 million. The IRA Tashkent 2.0 accelerator program is implemented jointly by MOST C-Space Hub and SQB Ventures in strategic partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

The startup's core product is Ordo.education, a universal cloud-based ERP SaaS platform equipped with a built-in intelligent AI assistant for preschool educational organizations. This technological solution helps public and private kindergartens fully automate routine daily processes, significantly reduce paper paperwork, optimize internal communication with parents, and build a transparent, systematic approach to the comprehensive monitoring of child development and learning.

The problem of digitalizing the preschool sector in Central Asia is particularly acute today, as the vast majority of administrative and pedagogical processes are still conducted manually. This creates an excessive burden on staff and reduces transparency in interactions among key participants — administration, educators, and parents.

The ORDO platform offers the market an effective alternative, making kindergarten management convenient and understandable. To date, the ORDO ecosystem has already been successfully scaled to more than 150 kindergartens operating in four countries across the region.

The team intends to use the received investments to strengthen the technical base of the product, expand its team of developers and analysts, and accelerate market expansion. The startup's next global goal is to connect 10,000 preschool institutions and secure its status as the key digital infrastructure for preschool education in Central Asia.
