Among the 19 Austin-based education entries shown, the largest disclosed round is WIN Reality at $49M (2022-05-19). That figure sits far above most other disclosed amounts in the list—several rounds cluster between about $2M and $26M, including Expressable at $26M (2024-05-20) and Maven at $25M (2022-09-15), while only a small number of disclosed rounds reach the $20M level (Interplay Learning at $20M on 2024-09-19; Podium Education at $20M on 2022-08-30; OnlineMedEd at $20M on 2021-04-06). There is also a temporal concentration: five disclosed rounds fall between 2024-03-06 and 2024-05-20 (Human Program $580K on 2024-03-06; Upswing and Special Olympics are undisclosed on 2024-04-03 and 2024-07-25; Expressable $26M on 2024-05-20), indicating a recent funding burst.
Stage and disclosure patterns skew toward missing detail: five of 19 entries show “undisclosed” amounts (Special Olympics Texas 2024-07-25; Upswing 2024-04-03; Creative Action 2023-12-21; Beaker Health 2023-04-13; 360training 2022-07-19) and two additional records carry “Series Unknown” or equivalent labels without disclosed amounts (Interplay Learning 2024-09-19 is “Series Unknown” but does disclose $20M; others vary by row). Across stages, “Seed” and “Series B” appear multiple times (e.g., Kinjo Seed $7M on 2023-08-21; Beereaders Seed $3M on 2022-03-21; Acadeum Series B $12M on 2023-05-24; Expressable Series B $26M on 2024-05-20; Podium Education Series B $20M on 2022-08-30).

Frequently asked
What does the largest disclosed Austin education round look like compared with the rest of the list?
WIN Reality’s $49M disclosed round on 2022-05-19 is the top disclosed amount in the 19-row view, materially higher than most other disclosed rounds such as Expressable’s $26M (2024-05-20), Maven’s $25M (2022-09-15), and the $20M entries (Interplay Learning on 2024-09-19; Podium Education on 2022-08-30; OnlineMedEd on 2021-04-06).
Do multiple rounds cluster in a narrow recent time window (2024) or are they evenly spread?
The 2024 entries concentrate early-to-mid year: Human Program ($580K) on 2024-03-06, Upswing (undisclosed) on 2024-04-03, and Expressable ($26M) on 2024-05-20 occur within a ~7.5-week span. The other 2024 point is Interplay Learning at $20M on 2024-09-19, with Special Olympics Texas (undisclosed) on 2024-07-25 filling the later part of the year.
How often are amounts undisclosed or series details missing, and what does that imply for interpreting outliers?
Five of 19 rows list “undisclosed” amounts (Special Olympics Texas on 2024-07-25; Upswing on 2024-04-03; Creative Action on 2023-12-21; Beaker Health on 2023-04-13; 360training on 2022-07-19), so ranking based on disclosed figures is necessarily incomplete. Even so, the largest disclosed amount ($49M by WIN Reality on 2022-05-19) is identifiable because it comes from a disclosed row.
Which stages show up repeatedly among the 19 companies, and are the largest disclosed rounds concentrated in those stages?
Seed appears more than once (Kinjo Seed $7M on 2023-08-21; Beereaders Seed $3M on 2022-03-21), and Series B also repeats (Acadeum Series B $12M on 2023-05-24; Expressable Series B $26M on 2024-05-20; Podium Education Series B $20M on 2022-08-30). The absolute maximum disclosed round ($49M) is labeled Venture - Series Unknown for WIN Reality (2022-05-19), rather than Series B or Seed.
Are there notable outliers on the low end of disclosed amounts in this Austin-focused list?
Yes. Human Program shows the smallest disclosed amount at $580K on 2024-03-06, far below other disclosed rounds like OnlineMedEd’s $5M (2022-11-02), Edlink’s $2M (2022-05-13), and Ceresa’s $750K (2023-05-24).
Are any companies represented more than once in the dated rows, suggesting repeat funding entries rather than one-off events?
OnlineMedEd appears twice in the 19-row view: once with $5M on 2022-11-02 and again with $20M on 2021-04-06, both in Austin. That contrasts with one-time entries such as WIN Reality ($49M on 2022-05-19) and Expressable ($26M on 2024-05-20).
