In the latest round of dealmaking news, a number of ed-tech companies staged successful fundraising rounds, including China-based tutoring platform Entstudy and Piper, a startup that offers computer kits for kids.

Entstudy Raises $18.2 Million: Chinese tutoring platform Entstudy has secured $18.2 million in a Series C round led by Greenwoods Investment with participation of existing investors of Tencent and Yuanxi Capital, according to a report from TechNode.

The new funding will be utilized to develop Entstudy’s livestreaming platform Dingdang Classroom, which is expected to become a major revenue source for the startup, according to the report.

In February, Tencent, a China-based Internet services provider, said it planned to invest $50 million in Beijing New Oriental Xuncheng Network Technology Co., the operator of the Koolearn.com online education platform.

Piper, which provides do-it-yourself computer kits for kids, said the funding will assist with the creation and distribution of PiperEDU, a new product for K-12 educators that will allow Piper’s products to be integrated into classrooms all over the world.

“With PiperEDU, students will learn programming, engineering and electronics as they assemble their own computers and build gadgets to solve Minecraft challenges,” the company noted.
