We’re thrilled to announce that Kami is entering a new chapter of growth! Boston Ventures Investment Partners (BVIP) has made a significant investment in Kami, turbocharging our mission to bring Kami to every classroom worldwide.

We’ve found an ideal partner in BVIP, who has a proven track record of helping innovators like us scale while staying true to their roots—our top priority. They share our vision, fully support our existing team, and are excited to help us drive this next phase of growth.

What does this mean for you?

First things first: It’s business as usual here at Kami. Our leadership team, our commitment to our community, and our passion for making learning more accessible, all remain unchanged. We’re the same Kami, but now with more fuel and resources to take our platform to the next level.

Same team, same service, same spark ✨

The team you know and love will be the same. We’re not going anywhere, and neither is our dedication to providing you with the best service. If anything, you can look forward to even better support and exciting new features as we continue to grow. 

What’s Next?

As we step into this new phase of growth, we’re focused on continuing to innovate and support the amazing educators and students who use Kami every day. We have an exciting product roadmap ahead and we can’t wait to show you. This includes accelerating our development of more time-saving AI features, deeper support of SPED, and so much more. 

Every change we’ve made over the last 11 years stems from conversations with teachers, interactions with students, and insights from administrators. Your feedback has shaped who we are today. If you have any thoughts or questions, just reach out to your customer management team—we’d love to hear from you!

Thank you for being part of our Kami story so far. Here’s to an even brighter future together!

Stay curious,
