  • Qweebi brings browser based robotics learning into classrooms with fresh capital infusion

    Vivek Seetharaman, CEO, Qweebi, and Mitesh Shah, Co Founder, Inflection Point Ventures, highlight accessibility, scalability, and growing adoption across US schools
    Singapore, March 16, 2026: Qweebi, a K-12 online makerspace platform, has raised $500,000 in a seed funding round led by Inflection Point Ventures, with participation from global investors .

    The platform enables schools to run hands on engineering and robotics projects entirely through a web browser, removing the need for physical kits and classroom infrastructure.
    Qweebi plans to use the funding to accelerate product development and expand its presence across school districts in the United States. The platform has already been adopted by more than 5,200 schools across all 50 states, reaching over 100,000 students.

    The adoption has been largely organic, driven by teacher recommendations and peer sharing across networks.
    Mitesh Shah, Co Founder, Inflection Point Ventures, said the platform addresses key challenges in STEM education by reducing costs and simplifying implementation of hands on learning experiences.
    In traditional classroom settings, conducting engineering and robotics projects often involves logistical challenges, including sourcing materials and managing setup within limited class time.

    Qweebi addresses these constraints by offering ready to run projects with integrated lesson plans and guides, enabling teachers to reduce preparation time significantly.
    Students can build and test virtual prototypes that replicate real world behaviour, allowing more time to focus on learning rather than setup and cleanup processes.
    Vivek Seetharaman, CEO, Qweebi, said the platform is designed to make hands on learning accessible at scale, ensuring students can engage in practical learning without the limitations of physical resources.
    Founded by a team with experience in building interactive platforms, Qweebi focuses on enabling schools to deliver consistent, project based learning experiences within standard classroom schedules.
