Zurich-based Taskbase, an edtech company, announced on Monday that it has secured $3.9M (approximately €3.6M) in a fresh funding round from Acrobator Ventures (Acrobator.vc), Mediahuis Ventures, Bloomhaus Ventures AG, and other existing investors.

The Swiss company will use the money to accelerate its growth and expansion into other European markets. Additionally, it is planning to increase its headcount, preferably in Engineering, AI, Delivery, and Sales and Marketing.

AI models may struggle to assess student responses that don’t match learning goals, impacting progress tracking. Taskbase addresses this with specific features.
