Zen Educate

Zen Educate (operating at zeneducate.com) is a technology-enabled education staffing platform engineered for streamlining the hiring and deployment of educators. Founded in 2016 by Slava Kremerman and headquartered in London, England, Zen Educate disrupts the traditional supply teaching model by offering a digital marketplace that eliminates agency fees while ensuring schools have access to rigorously vetted teachers and teaching assistants. Under the hood, the platform leverages AI-driven matching algorithms to pair educators with schools based on location, subject expertise, and classroom needs, while providing real-time availability tracking and flexible scheduling. This allows schools to maintain full staffing levels without the administrative burden, while educators benefit from higher pay, flexible hours, and dedicated support. Backed by a Series B funding round led by Round2 and totaling $37 million, Zen Educate has scaled rapidly, reinforcing its mission to modernize a broken education staffing system.
