What is Knewton?

At Knewton, we believe each student is unique and that their knowledge is not defined by their last answer. Sometimes what a student needs at any moment may not be the next lesson in their textbook. Teachers, schools and education companies use Knewton solutions to adapt to each student’s unique needs with tailored recommendations. Join us to help students have a more positive educational experience.

What have we accomplished since opening our doors in 2008?

We’ve delivered more than 15 billion (that’s right, billion) personalized recommendations to over 13 million students on every continent (okay, except Antarctica). We’re headquartered in beautiful Union Square NYC with offices in London and Tokyo. Investments top $150M from well-known angel investors plus Accel, Bessemer, First Round Capital, Firstmark, Founders Fund, GSV and Atomico.

Do you love empowering engineering organizations to move and scale quickly? We have a long and growing list of interesting projects!
