Primer
Backed byCraft VenturesAbout Primer
Primer is an early-stage education technology company focused on creating a new education system centered around microschools. Its mission is to free the next generation of kids to be more ambitious, more creative, and to think for themselves, because standard schools can’t make space for every kid’s curiosities. The company bootstrapped to almost $1 million in revenue in its first year and later demonstrated consistent 15-20% month-over-month growth after fundraising. Craft Ventures led Primer's Seed and Series A rounds, and its investor network includes early team members from Carta, Okta, Figma, Masterclass, Segment, Pilot.com, People.AI, and Skyhigh.
