Edtech Platform Imagi Raises $4.5M to Scale AI and Coding Education

Founded in 2018 by educators Dora Palfi and Beatrice Ionascu, Imagi provides K-12 students with tools to learn coding, basic computer skills, and AI literacy. The company secured a $4.5 million seed round with investors including Brighteye Ventures, Day One Capital, and artist Will.i.am. In November 2023, it partnered with vibe-coding tool Lovable, enabling teachers to create controlled-access lessons for students. OpenAI provided $1 million in credits for free access to the Imagi x Lovable tool.
