Edaura

Edaura operated as a developer of an online learning platform headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The company was founded in 2015 with a focus on the Educational and Training Services (B2C) market, providing a platform designed to connect teachers and students in a virtual environment.

The business provided an application software that functioned as a comprehensive eLearning tool. Its platform enabled educators to build courses, create classrooms, manage assignments, conduct quizzes, and distribute educational resources. Key features included a chat function for real-time communication between teachers and students, calendar sharing for organizing events, and tools for parents to track their child's academic progress. The service was accessible via web browsers and a mobile application, allowing users to connect from any smartphone.

A significant milestone for the company was securing a deal with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). This agreement involved introducing a white-label enterprise version of the Edaura platform to 500,000 students and 22,000 teachers across UNRWA schools in Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, the West Bank, and Gaza. The company received $300K in funding through an accelerator/incubator program in January 2018. According to PitchBook data, the company is now listed as out of business as of June 2021.
