Impactus

Founded in June 2021 by CEO Kim Bokyung, Impactus is a South Korean EdTech company focused on resolving educational inequalities for adolescents. The company provides personalized educational services and public courses to help students discover and develop suitable careers.

The core of its offering is the 'Impact Space,' an all-in-one digital platform for educators and students. This solution integrates lesson planning, inquiry-based learning activities, and evaluation into a single system. For educators, the platform provides a search engine to find achievement and evaluation criteria, which aids in creating class materials and guiding student inquiries. For students, the platform facilitates real-time, collaborative content creation, which is visible to all participants and instructors. It also features an AI that analyzes student input to provide insights and assess competencies, streamlining the previously separate processes of inquiry and evaluation.

Impactus offers various educational programs, such as the 'Impactmaker Class,' which centers on solving social issues and advanced major-related learning, and specialized classes in biotechnology, climate change, and data science. These programs are designed to be student-led, moving away from passive, lecture-based learning. The company collaborates with experts and high-level academics to deliver its content. The business model appears to be B2B, targeting educational institutions. In November 2023, Impactus secured a seed round of funding from SparkLabs Group.
