Who is investing in Komodo?

This funding round was led by the fantastic team at Kami & Hiraya Ventures. We're incredibly proud that our mission is backed by such influential names. In addition to Hiraya Ventures, the round included NZ Growth Capital Partners, Former Reddit CEO Ellen Pao and several dedicated existing investors who continue to believe in Komodo's value.

This investment isn't just capital; it's a vote of confidence in the future of proactive school wellbeing.

What does this mean for your school?

Our customers are the true trailblazers, championing wellbeing in schools across 30+ countries already. This new funding will directly benefit you and the students you serve in a few key ways:

  • Faster development and better features: We can further develop our team and infrastructure. This means we can invest more in the features you ask for and ensure the Komodo platform remains the ultimate tool for holistic wellbeing management.

Their team brings powerful global market insight and expertise to Komodo, which will help us serve our diverse schools even better.
  • Strategic direction: We are excited to welcome Hengjie Wang to the Komodo Board of Directors. His experience will help guide our long-term strategy, ensuring we remain focused on revolutionising the educational landscape by prioritising every school's approach to staff and student wellbeing. 
  • Reaching more educators: With this support, we can work with more schools globally, sharing best practices and data-driven insights to help improve staff and student wellbeing outcomes everywhere.
